my scope 3

my 4 inch Achromat (102mm) refractor!!!!


It on a skyscan 2001 mount.

D=102mm F=1000mm Coated Optics.

this telescope I was lucky enough to buy in 2007 from a western sydney pawn shop in st marys.I got a terrific bargain.

There is something about a "live" view through a telescope that is very difficult to capture in photographs, no matter how spectacular


The front objective lens doesn't have adjustable screws like the current skywatchers.It has no brand name but i think it is an early skywatcher.It produces good sharp images.It is a good companion to my big apeture (10 inch and 12 inch)dobsonians.
