TeleVue 85 Arrived at Last

[FlashDrive (Col)]

The very day I left for a 5 day break ... she turned up ...!!
Took her with me ( still boxed and unopened ).

Went up to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland ... just beautiful up there.

Got to the cabin ... sat her on my lap .. took her out of the box

Isn't she just something eh ...!!!

Check her out ..!!

Congratulations Flash with the new baby!

Typical Televue quality.

Personally, I think IMHO the TV-85 is the best pound for pound doublet refractor TV makes in their range (probably an even better and more useful scope than the venerable and sadly now extinct TV-102).

I trust you took full advantage of the high dollar and if bought locally when the prices were down.

I will be very interested to learn what you think of the new 2-speed focuser.

Bobby Dazzler! I'm drooling over the keyboard.

Love the shot with all the quality glass. I hope you have clear skies.

If you ever decide to give it up Colin, give me a ring

As if you ever will, congrats, great scope (nice eyepieces too)


Clear skies

Thanks Colin, looking forward to it.

They are the best looking scopes. I have a slightly larger version and simply adore it. Perhaps too much
