telementor..

[estwing]

hi guys just joined so here go's, in 1992 i bought this telescope..it was in a sale and got tripod with the tray with it and a 25-huygens eyepiece but no barlow lense..i couldn't afford one. 20 years on lookin on web and discover i own a Zeiss jena telementor ( a bit of a classic? ) so what i need is a good barlow and a powerful eyepiece without breaking the bank!, thanks for any advise calv.

it is .96 or 1.25"?

[estwing]

.965 why is that bad?

[Earl]

it is harder to get things that fit, can you get a 1.25 inch adapter for it?

[estwing]

i hope so, need to get a more powerful eyepiece..16mm is that right?

Does it have a 90 degree diagonal ? - I seem to recall some of the Telementor's were supplied to be used "straight through".

It might be worth contacting the chap that runs this company - he specialises in retro and vintage scopes and has sold several Telementor's in the past. He will probably know all about what accessories can be sourced for them and from where:
