now finished updating my C5+ pages.



My first commercial/expensive telescope was an orange C5 i bought sometime around 1975. I think i actually picked it up in person at the Celestron plant in LA. After a few years i sold it and upgraded to a C8. I have really fond memories of that C5. I sold it to a friend and i think he still has it. I wonder if he'd sell it back to me...


I still have a C5+. Great little scope. But should I replace it with the new C6 model on an ASGT mount: That is the question :)

Not much of a difference in aperture or focal length, but if you wish to replace a C5, may I suggest the 127 mm Orion Maks on their goto mount?
