Caldwell 14 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Hi everyone. I am not a new member, but I might as well be. It's years since I was in here and even then I only posted a few times. I didn't have any gear for a while (Sold to pay towards a Masters degree) for 6 months and didn't think I could afford to buy another entire set up again. That was until I discovered a Circle T (Towa) 339, fl15 classic Japanese refractor with it's original wooden GEM and x4 .965 Circle T eyepieces for 100 quid, and I love refractors, nevermind classic japanese fl15 ones. So I am back in business again. I am a planetary and lunar astronomer, but I do have a thing of splitting really difficult doubles and triples, hence my interest in the scope. See you at a star party sometime perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hi again Carl, good to see you are back and what a scope to be back with and a bargain too. PhilJ will be all over that, he's a massive fan of the old school classic glass. Here's to getting a few nights over the Christmas period for you to get to grips with it.

Tweedledee Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Welcome again Carl. Some photos of that nice long scope would be interesting. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Welcome back Carl, youve got a good scope there, I have one which I modernised with 2" Crayford and I love it, great for lunar and planets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
