Celestron NexStar 5SE Computerized Telescope - In Box, used 1 time

This 'scope was a Christmas (2023) gift for me. It sat in the box for a few months until the weather warmed up a bit. Then I took it out of the box, and assembled it, and used it for one night...first light included Jupiter and moons...I loved this...and then the next day I disassembled it because I don't have the space for it and put it back in the original box, where it has remained.

I guess technically it's used and not new, but it is absolutely as close to new as used could possibly be!  As far as I know, it is in mint / perfect condition.

Celestron currently sells this on their website for $939.
