I got a 6" f12 Refractor plus extra scopes think Unitron on an old EQ mount but because it's for a bank forget it, what a bunch of parasites.
Also I'm in the right city Melbourne.
The problem is that regardless of how beautiful some of these giant
scopes are, many people with no knowledge of telescopes would barely realise that they are in fact telescopes. You need a large equatorially
mounted refractor, or reflector.

Sorry. I don't agree
People always know what my telescope is.
Cheers
very funny collection of ideas.
Thats why I love IIS so, yes I do !!!
I go with the SDM and a person fiddling with collimation and a ladder in the background whilst another person wows the crowd with a solar scope!

indeed, could be dangerous with a 20" truss in the daytime, you could accidentally set the crew on fire due to angle of the sun on the mirror or at a minimum blind half the crew.
The obvious one you should ask is Sydney Observatory. I'd also suggest CBA can afford to make an appropriate donation; I for one don't see why anyone here should do this for free.

Wavy,
I was definitely not asking for a freebie. When hiring a prop there is always money exchanged. Thanks for posting.
My 16inch truss Newtonian is available, I'm located in the inner west of Sydney.
It stands about 190cm tall and is around 50cm in diameter. It is on wheels so can be move fairly easily.
Trevor, Hi thanks for your post. I will include your photo in my photos of available Telescopes. Then it is up to the director for the final say. I will come back to you asap and also let you know either way. Thanks again! Ant
