Pirate Telescopes - Must Have

A must have for every amateur astronomer's kit. Where do get 'em, here of course. Great for those cloudy or rainy nights, a bit of make believe or pantomine perhaps, pirate day, even star parties! No, I am not associated with the sale of these telescopes in any way. It's surprising what turns up when you do a simple search on eBay though.

The thing is as crooked as a dogs hind leg

Amazes me somewhat how little care in presentation some people take when advertising an item. Reminds me of the ebay newtonians shown with the finderscope on backwards

I really want one in my back pocket for star parties! Anyone going to buy a swag of them and will sell me one? I reckon you'd sell them all for a tidy profit at your next star party!
