Do you mean the Oddie II is back on the original mount, on the site of the old one or is it sitting on a pedestal still? I'll be up there in a shot if it's back on the mount!
There is another Oddie refractor at Canberra Grammar School. A 4.5" refractor that is sitting in a shed in storage according to a nephew that goes there. Wonder if it's worth making the school an offer to take it off their hands? What would a modern school do with an old bit of junk like that?
The good Dr Tim has done great stuff up on Mt Stromlo...the old days....
