Just found a scope I had forgotten I had bought

I recall now that I bought it with the intention of keeping it as a novelty then forgot all about it. I haven't actually taken it out of the box so the image below is from a Cloudynights post.

The Celestron 50th Anniversary edition Firstscope.

I've no plans to part with it, maybe it'll be worth something in 2060 when Celestron reach 100.

Anyone used any of the Firstscopes? Did they sell them in the UK?

So, mint in box. Definitely save it till 2060

Yes they sold them here in the UK just named the Celestron First Scope albeit without the fancy paint job

I'm not allowed to forget about any scope I buy. SWMBO makes sure of that🤣
