While I had the camera out .......... a photo of one of the Canberra Astronomical Society hire scopes. This scope has been allocated to the introductory group (I am one of the coordinators) it has been out on hire for the lst 3 months but I couldn't convince anyone to hire it at the last meeting.......oh well I will just have to use it myself for the month. It is a great scope, 4" F10 and really sharp. Comes with a set of orthoscopic eyepieces and is great for the moon and planets. Perfect height to use seated and the whole thing can be picked up and carried one handed.
ps. It also carries John Dobson's signature 1995.
Cheers,
