Ahem, Tal1SLT(t) - and IIRC you finalised that designation Tony

No worries Great lil scope the Tal1, no matter what version. Enjoy. Here's my old one;

Not on a Tal1 Mel Crepitis, the old original Tal not-quite-standard-and-just-a-tad-over-1.25" focuser had a draw tube with a spring collar'cut' into the end, the original oversize eyepieces are held in place by that collar. Seems that's what you actually have. The eyepieces might not be modern standard fit but they are good quality and all that your young-uns should need to enjoy the scope. HTH.

Nice heads up Archie We've lost BBC4 here though - enjoy folks.

Good choice indeedy Have fun Kevin

Hush us out of the window prob'ly Tim.

Well done Carol Nice skills

Good choice folks - have fun Steve

Proper 130mm parabolic newt for that price - not shabby at all. Takes standard 1.25 ep's too by the looks

Kind words gents thanks. Not ready for a 'training montage with music' yet Jon but doing ok

Nice stuff from the prize there Mike
