I'll take as much info on the scope as you are willing to give me!!!!
The more the better. Also include what you sold with the scope and
how much, just for reference.

First off, i traded my C-14 & got some cash for the 5" ed.
I only had the 5" ed, for three weeks.
The optics were excellent! The GO- TO worked well most of the time,
but once in a while the scope would hit the tripod. I never did find out why.
Also when i would focus at powers above 120x it was very shaky, i sure did not
like that!!!

Setting up the scope, was easy. The Moon was excellent. Saturn was low
at the time i had the scope. I also have a older Celestron 5.
To me the C-5 was just as good as the 5" ED. And cost a hell of alot less!
I sold the the 5" ed for $3000.00
Now i have a 10" LX-200! I really love it!
If You plan on looking at deepsky stuff with the 5" ed. Forget it!!!
There are much better scopes for $4000.00.

I hope this helped.
