Tweedledee Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 He's only selling one 5" objective for £2250 or best offer! The binoculars look very impressive. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/refractor-telescope-lens-127mm-F15-Isbester-fully-multi-coated-magnify-48-510-/191693609722?hash=item2ca1d45afa philjay, Werisit and tuckstar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at stuff near the zenith might be a challenge Not very grab n go then, but he reckons he can sling it over his shoulder Reading the ebay description, I don't think he's done much astronomy with it.

+Bino-viewer Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 OR...........there's these. Quite rare to find them in the UK. Very 'Russian looking'. Tank like even. But i bet they perform, and then some.... http://www.astrobuysell.com/uk/propview.php?view=102456 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 $6950 USD for just the chair........ No optics included.....? I'd be worried about spilling my brew over it at it slewed around Yes it seems like a ridiculous price You'd get a big, high quality goto dob for that price.

tuckstar Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Have you seen the 6" zeiss bins at Keele uni's obssy mounted on a ww2 gunners chair. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 I found these pics of the Keele bins. Whilst looking I found the third image entitled "Stargazing Live at Keele Uni", which gave me a laugh. Perhaps it is just an unusual optical system ...

tuckstar Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Oops. Keele have frequent open nights and the 12" frac is a dream although I've not had a chance to look through it, maybe next time. https://flic.kr/p/o98e6g Edited September 25, 2015 by tuckstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 She is being "Opticmistic". Ah well you have to start somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I'd like some seriously big bins but if I had that budget, I'd more than likely look at some solar hydrogen alpha stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
