    An old refractor telescope

    I've recently acquired an old refractor telescope...it is in not to good of shape and was thinking about putting this on a eq. mount. Is this possible? This old mount I think is missing some original pieces like screws for the tube mount and on the finder scope the lens is loose and other small details.....I thought this scope would be good for viewing closer objects like the moon and the sun.....Anyone ever seen this scope before? Never seen one like this before and I think it is at least 20 + years old. Would greatly appreciate any info on this scope
  2. just wanted to say hello...I will probably be a long time before I get back here. The life of a trucker.....long hours, two grand kids....does not leave much time for astronomy :( Just too tiered at night and by the time it's dark enough to look through scope I'm in bed cause I have to get up the next day at 5 am.....the only reason I have time for this is that my truck is in the shop......take care everyone, and I wish you dark skies :)

  3. Hello everyone...just wanted to stop by and say hello and also to say I'm still alive......lol! astronomy has been put on hold du to the fact that I have been so busy lately...work, family, and also been on other forum(http://www.crossfire.swat-portal.com/)yes it's a gaming forum....almost 50 but still like playing games :) still thinking on buying a new kit but it is probably going to remain a dream for sometime.......don't know when I'll be back here again. If for so...

  7. well since most of you guys (ladys'included)are from England thought I would spill the beans....My Grandpa came to america from England with his dad when he was a small boy back in I think around 1920 sometime. "HIS" dad was born in Manchester....hence the family name "ENTWISTLE" so any of you who'greatgrandpa's where born or raised in Manchester we are probably related.

  8. last couple of days have been home...on wed. could not lift left arm exept at the elbow and this is very fustrating because I can't lift anything. doc say's it is (shoulder cap)probably a bruised tendon or maybe even torn.have to wait till 17 oct to get appointment at orthopedist ...on drugs ....:(...for the pain .The last two nights were clear skies and I was nerves wreak cause I couldn't get my scope out!! hopefully soon!!
