I'll try and Find a piece of dovetail when I get home and drill it to fit... and drill and tap a 1/4" BSW tripod bush mounting hole...

Sweet! Enjoy Peter

Terrestrial views with the 40mm TV Possl are mindblowing... guess I have found my "nature" scope ... Nice(ish) zoom to go with it next maybe.. any suggestions?

[MjrTom]

I would suggest the Baader Hyperion

Thanks all .. I think it will be a keeper even if its only for visual (yes you heard me..)

I Dug out an old piece of dovetail and a few mins on the milling machine had it fitted to the TV Clamshell...

The scope came with a 40mm TV Possl and 2" TV one-piece Diagonal...with 1.25" adaptor...

It also came with a TV Qwik Finder (Early "daisy" red dot only 16mm diameter) with a interesting solution to dimming it...

A thin PCB which slides in between the battery and the battery connector and has a day.night switch and dimming pot...

I will keep this as part of the kit but fit a more modern larger RDF...

I Still cant get over the terrestrial views...

I Wonder how long it will be before the clouds go away again

Peter...

Very envious

If you do decide to part with it - PM me. my less than perfect Pronto I bought new from SCS in 1999 has seen better days - the cement around the edge of the lens has a serious problem. Maybe I should put a wanted request on Astro-Ads hmmmh.

Cheers

Oh no, Peter! You bought serial number 5455 - the infamous one with the really bad optics that's also contaminated with a deadly disease transmittable by exposure to the skin! I have the necessary equipment here to disinfect it, though it's a long process.... PM me and I'll give you the address to send it to.

I have it soaking in Dettol as we speak.. dont think its doing it much good

Works nicely on the SLT mount.. the OM loves it for watching the birds on the feeders...

[mdstuart]

My skywatcher has the same wheels that you use in the focuser. So I have at least one part of my kit like yours...

Mind you the rubber on mine has perished due to over use!

Can't believe I missed this thread - that is just a gorgeous purchase, Peter - only ever heard good things about that one.

[Psychobilly]

It has some false colour and dont know what the field will be like - but i am planning to use it for - Shock horror VISUAL...

Visual, crikey do people still do that

[Psychobilly]

This one didn't...

And its joking visual at the moment with Integrating Video cams...

[Teal Rain]

Hope you like the colour purple - and I don't mean the movie..

Still a lovely scope tho.

[Psychobilly]

I know waht you mean but i suppose its a bit of a sentimental purchase

[Deneb]

Very Nice Peter, Very Nice...
