now you're testing my memory
I would have to try and dig out some old Astro Optical catalogues
to find out its exact age.
Late seventies or early eighties, maybe. I had it when Halley revisited and supernova 1987A blew up.
I haven't used the old home made beastie for a long time, but when viewing conditions like last night come along I am glad of the home made equatorial mount. Even if the motor drive isn't very good, it sure as hell beats pushing an alt-az around at high power.
