I've Pimped My Scope....

[Greg]

Weather has been awful last few weeks so I stripped, cleaned and sent the tube to my mates for a re-spray..

The scope is a Helios 120 Achromat with very little false colour. the tube was originally black with lots of scratches and a few dings from use. It's one of my favourites so a friend of mine who's a mechanic and a vehicle sprayer took the tube away for a few days and had a play...

He was going to put some stars and planets on there! .... He thought it was funny :shock:

Picked it up tonight..

I did ask him to put "TMB" On it....

I was thinking of doing the ED80 and 10", but maybe a nice midnight blue, or deep 'n' dark red.

nice job, tho Greg
