Old Newtonian

This somewhat dilapidated and badly treated home made telescope is offered free to someone who may bring it back to life. It came to me via a friend who was aware that I enjoy astronomy.

The tube is aluminium, brush painted. Optics are reasonable, some light scratches are evident, but reflectivity seems pretty good. It comes with two eyepieces. Focuser moves freely, finder scope is OK.

Primary is in the order of 100mm diameter, distance between primary and secondary is around 900mm.

For pick up only, will not post.

A good project! Please contact me by PM.
