Weird scope in movie

I'm always fascinated by the appearance of telescopes in B grade movies. Here's a screen shot I took last week, watching a rerun of the truly dreadful sci-fi, end of the world movie, Knowing. Nicholas Cage is supposed to be an astrophysicist. Is that rotating, extendable, really long diagonal thingy on a newtonian for real or just some figment of the director's imagination?
