First immediate impression: I like it a lot ! Ordered yesterday ; arrived today. Amazon are letting me pay for it gently over 6 months, plus they have the lowest price I have found for the C5 in the UK.. so as a thank you I am writing this review. It arrived in a soft case (you could call it a semi-rigid case) surrounded by no less than 3 boxes. The Primary and secondary mirrors are clean with no blemishes obvious on first inspection. The daytime view of my little Buddha statue across my garden is stunningly bright and crisp thanks to XLT coatings, non doubt ; I tried 8.8mm - 40mm (a bit long but just about works) eyepieces.. Couldn't be happier. Now to work out what tripod / mount to use with it?...and more to the point what to use when travelling? I will add to this review when I have used it for Astronomy in particular. So far it has exceeded my every expectation. Oh yes, I might well dismount the finder rings and add a finder, Telrad or red dot finder of my own liking... 1250mm focal length in such a small scope! Remarkable; no wonder they took the C5 up on Shuttle flights! Update; I have pointed it at Jupiter, and was most stunned by the sharpness and contrast,,, it's hard to believe how good the image is ... far better than one would expect from a 5" scope. I'm going to get the Explore Scientific Twilight 1 Alt-Az mount and tripod, and will update once that arrives and once I have had a decent session (the Jupiter session was before the scope had time to cool down...) Collimation (Star test) seemed very good (considering the scope had not yet cooled). With regards the finderscope, it is true that it does not align out of the box. A little modification is necessary ; watch this clip on Youtube called "Celestron Red Dot Finderscope Fix". I fixed my 6SE finder by adding some flexible black plastic instead of cardboard... but the principle was the same. I am actually using a Celestron Red Dot Finder with it. My Twilight 1 Tripod and mount arrived... totally suitable for this scope... weighs in at 7.6 kg, and you can get lighter. I have a YouTube clip called 'Celestron 5" SCT C5 Overview' which should be useful if you want to get a quick idea... Further update ; continue to be pleased with this scope. Albireo colour contrast good ; Ring Nebula good (not as good as my Celestron 6" SCT, of course) ; M31 nothing particular to report.. the usual fuzzy ball you get from suburban skies. I do not recommend the supplied 45 degree diagonal for Astronomy.. I have a very good Televue Everbrite 90 degree Star diagonal which is costly, but out performs any other diagonal I have.

This is our first telescope and we wanted something for the family that would allow both terrestrial spotting, but also to bring us on our first forays into the solar system. After a bit of research around the web, we decided the C5 fitted the bill and ordered from Amazon. The purchase experience and delivery was first class as usual.The scope was easy to assemble out of the box. We had no issue with aligning the spotting scope as mentioned by somebody else, although it did take a little effort and fine adjustment of the positioning screws to get just right. The scope is easy to use and we have been amazed by what we can see with the standard lens that's supplied with the scope.Already we'replanning to upgrade and get the additional lens/filter set from Celestron and increase the power of this great piece of kit.
