We've got an awesome and burly scope up for grabs today! This is a nearly new 10" Celestron Newtonian Reflector. Scope has been used a total of three times and is in terrific shape. Performance-wise, we could not be more impressed with the optics.
We acquired this scope with a CG5 mount,which we are keeping for other purposes! So if you've got a good, sturdy mount that can accommodate a heavy scope like this then you're all set.
This light bucket is great for both serious observing and astrophotography. We took it for a spin under dark skies and obtained some fantastic images of the Ring and Dumbbell Nebulas as well as M31.
We found collimation easy and accurate, focusing smooth and optics sharp. We decided to upgrade the stock scope with a GSO right-angle finder for more comfortable acquisition of sky targets.
This a a heavy scope, about 35 lbs, so ensure your mount can handle the load. A standard CG5 mount will do the trick.
As with most heavy items we prefer local sales in the Los Angeles, Orange County, San Fernando or Inland Empire regions but can certainly ship at buyer's expense to anywhere in CONUS.
