Hi everyone,

Apologies for the intrusion on your forum, but I really am running out of ideas.

My dad received a retirement gift in 2004 of a Tasco Astronomy Telescope 153mm (equatorial mount). Although an exceedingly lovely gift, he is a salty sea-captain more interested in checking out the ships at sea rather than gazing towards the heavens. So the telescope has sat in its box and never been used (a great shame, i know).

I would love to be able to swap with someone for a land telescope he could set up on his balcony at his beach house to watch the seas and pass the astronomical scope onto someone who would much more enjoy it. Otherwise I'd have to try and sell the scope, and I haven't had any luck with ebay or the trading post so far.

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Elly
