Just defected (forgive me Mike for I have sinned..

..temporarily of course) over to another forum in the US, found it from a link of one of our members square_peg114GT and spotted this truss dob with a pup...

I have.

That's reproduction by budding. Wish my scope would start to grow one.

That telescope looks similar to this one.

His finder scope is bigger than my Tasco.

I think if you can afford one of those, you could probably afford your own postage fleet

Biggest I've seen in person was a 25" at a star party. I'm too big of a klutz to get that high up on a ladder in the dark

.
That and the line was a mile long to look through it

Biggest I've actually looked through was an 18". Was some pretty impressive views and fortunately, the ladder wasn't quite as tall as the 25"

look at the naglers, and the finderscope looks like Scotts 10". Bl..dy old bugger with retirement funds. they think they are set, imagine at their age climbing a really tall ladder at night, with age blindness...........not that I am jealous, I don't suffer from scope envy

Oh I want one too... I wonder when the GSO 14"s 16"s.
I wonder what that 32" costs delivered?

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #13 12-09-2005, 11:33 PM

Nahhh! It's gotta be trick photography. Probably only a 114mm truss Tasco on a Hanimex base with 'Realistic' GoTo gizmo.

Yep, that's what it is!

That thing would double-up as an awesome sun dial during the day.

The scope in the original image is a 30". The EQ platform tracks for about 50 minutes. The view I had of the Veil thru a pair of Denk II's with Pan 24's was really something.

I'm also interested in a 14" or 16" GSO. I love my 8" and would keep it for grab-n-go. Just at times and at star parties I'd like a bit more aperture. A GSO-priced 16" would be awesome.

Striker (Tony) · #16 13-09-2005, 01:07 PM

The scope isn't really that big....their just very very small people.....lol
