8" Leah Refractor video

Have admired this scope for a long time and found this on youtube...a visit to the Chabot Observatory is on the bucket list

A 'drool worthy' scope if there ever was one.

If you like this sort of scope head into the Old Melbourne Observatory.

Reminds my of the 8" retractor there - the size and build always looked better than the images.
