Tal team and factory....

Crazy wall paint,

Crazy jumpers,

Crazy face expressions,

But the image of the Perseus double cluster I saw through the Tal 125R refractor on Wednesday night was truly awesome .....

The calendar on the wall in the picture looks a bit dodgy.....

Oh,I don't know, she might be a bit of alright, difficult to tell with that mount in the way.

I don't suppose they are paid that much - if anything at all at times. I have a feeling that the factory always made amateur optics as well as military and space related equipment. There is (was) more than one factory in the area though, I believe not all survived the post communist Yeltsin era.

I wonder what the 'new' Meade factory in Mexico will look like? Interesting photos all the same.

What great Pictures you Captured or was Captured?? That trio :withstupid: makes for a great advert look I too liked the photo of their chief press officer on the wall. :love10:

Now you are "TAL-king"

Well, they have tried brightening the place up with plant pots on the window sill.

Mind you, the effect would have been better if they could have actually put plants in all of them!

It's good to see that the walls are pianted with NHS green paint

Thought I recognised it from somewhere. It is exactly the same colour as my old radioisotope lab in the basement of the old District General in Ipswich (Anglesea Road for the locals).

Those were the days !! The Medical Physicist used to have a similar dress sense. Green tank top and purple paisley tie I seem to remember.

If ever I had to imagine what a refractor maker looked like and I then looked at that picture, then I would not be suprised :roll:

Those pictures explain a lot!

I think it is a credit to the "TAL" team - that they are able to produce such quality optical instuments, in such "run down" and quite frankly "grotty" looking facilities.

It might be nice to send them a big "thankyou" card from all on SGL - as over the years I'm sure they (the TAL team) must have given hundreds (if not thousands) of budding, and professional astronomers alike, great pleasure in using their equipement.

I know I am immensely pleased with my TAL100RS

Hmmm, looks like you're looking at window level actually...

Is there anyone on SGL who can write Cyrillic text? I suspect the Tal team would be even more impressed if they got a note from us in Russian.
