The bloke is not disguised...the tube of the finder scope is obscuring his face.

Yes...unknown magnification?? That sounds a bit odd.

PS Forgot to mention...did you know that Clyde Tombaugh made the first misslie tracking scopes? He mounted them on anti aircraft machine gun mounts and some of the best anti aircraft machine gunners operated these scopes to track the test launches.

Do you reckon I could bid a few Kilos of sausages?

The weight "guess" is pretty good..

Just what we need for observing meteorites in the field with.

I could only use it to see how fast the wife lowers my bank balance.
