I am fully aware of the pitfalls of buying overseas but when you are looking at well over 50% less it is hard to resist even with no warranty backup.
Celestron AU (Celestron Nexstar 5 SE)

PS: I have only just begun the research so I am confused as any noobie and may be overdoing it even looking at this scope so early and am willing to be told so! And I seem to have picked up that Celestron themselves may be the problem as far as the variations go. Is that true? |
As said by others, a recurring topic. I bought a Celestron 6SE from B&H in New york back in Dec whilst on hols. Cost me less than a thousand all up which included shipping, it took its time to arrive but all good. Cost of scope itself was $US799, which simply cannot be matched here. PS, go for the 6, not the 5.
