philjay Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Lovely 4" antique scope here, that mount is rare as hens teeth http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/John-B-Dancer-Antique-Telescope-/221187947358?pt=UK_Photography_Telescopes&hash=item337fd43b5e Wonder where the tripod went if at all it had one, probably pier mounted originally. At 600 notes with 4 days to go, I reckon theres a few collectors will be biddingt on this one. I predict it going for over a grand. PS. That RA setting circle is a thing of beauty, it has magnifying glasses for reading the scales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
