I may be interested. The image still doesn't show up. Is this it?

Mount and tripod are not available with this scope?

Cheers
Steffen.

Steffan,
from Chris's less than glamourous picture and description, it is. The scope(s) are what is known as a Telementor 2, the first version (Telemntor One) having a helical/external focuser. This model (the Telementor 2) has a sliding "draw-tube" inside the OTA proper which the objective rides in, thus accomplishing focus. The rear section, with eyepiece or whatever remains fixed.
I have owned many of them, and still have the earlier still version called the AS63/840.
They are a simple doublet, but they are without peer, the images are simply stunning. Plus they have that "rare" factor.
