Well, it turns out that my brother bought a Newtonian scope about 20 years ago and it has been sitting at my dads place this entire time.

So I went and grabbed it - Not in the greatest condition. Looks like the actual lens has suffered from heat or constant bright light as the coating has flaked off and the lens itself is marked/stained. Looking up into the sky it still works though so that's always a good thing.

Can't really find much on the brand... Optisan Star 900114 II? I'm guessing it's manufacturer is out of business by now. Has a wooden leg tripod with a pretty flimsy accessory plate. Ah well, good place to start anyway!
