Wow. That's a telescope  Very nice
I have one , motorised and computerised not that big though, I can use it manualy too. I was taking photos of the moon this morning but it was to faint, so I gave up, really need a bright blue sky. |

Smashing big mirror scope you've got there. I'd love one but alas kids need new shoes, bike needs new tyres, etc, etc... |

That's some excellent telescopic equipment you've got there!
One of my biggest regrets is that where I live I've hardly any decent sky to see, being so close to a major city. If I'd live anywhere with a decent amount of sky view, I'd have a 'scope. |

Yes, some fine kit. It takes me back to my time of grinding, polishing and silvering blank 8" glasses. Still it was cheap and effective.
And welcome to WAB btw

First of all let me extend a warm welcome to WAB from me.
That is some serious piece of kit. I hope you take some impressive photos through it. If so then we have a Gallery that would benefit no end if you were to include those images.

Here are my telescopes
My granddaughter is staying for the week-end so I have had to move them out of my observatory (back room)
Bit smaller than weathergirls but ok to see Jupiter and its moons also Saturn.
Best I can afford.  | | | |
