Oh yes! That's a nice collection of optics. Some seem to have had a hard working life too.

Definitely some very tasty telescopes among the collection, too many to mention, the 150mm Fujinon binos' would be nice for comet observing and was that a 10" / 12" classical cassegrain being pulled out of a crate and mounted. Would be good for lunar / planetary work, think I need to work on my astro budget. Love to visit the museum just to drool.

Looks like it's in an old swimming pool in Kagawa. Japan is pretty ugly from a light pollution p.o.v, but Kagawa is one of the less bad places.
