What happens if you look at zenith?!!

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

You don't. There's nothing you could possibly want to see there

[Mike73]

Wow....I bet that gives some pretty amazing views of the planets!

[astro mick]

What a beauty.

[Pete Presland]

Wow that is long, wonder what the focal length is.

I was trying to figure out if there's some sort of force-perspective going on in that pic   lol wow!

[Uplooker]

I reckon that it is 6 inch F/15.

I'm guessing a 3mm EP wouldn't work too well in that!

That's insane, a 30mm Plössl would probably give you 100x allready :-)

[Schorhr]

Oh, I missed the Part about it being f/15...

[ChrisLX200]

I would guess a 5" f/20 OTA. I'll bet it's a superb planetary scope - but how do you transport it??  Does it split in two (just below the lower tube ring).

Scaling the image with a tape rule suggests at least F30, ideal for a Daystar Ha telescope.

The impressive thing is he travelled to his dark site on a motorbike.

[lbscherm]

Wow  That scope is crazy longgggg....

It seems an awful lot of fuss just to enable watching the football on his Local's pay-per-view without

having to get a round in.

I bet he's jotting down Sattelite serial numbers in his little book..

Transport ? No problemo !

[glowjet]

If you must view near the Zenith, then take a shovel and dig a hole to stand in

[John]

And I thought my 6" F/12 was a big, long tube 

He is really going to know what moment arm force is all about with that one !!!

Much amused ...if you look at the Zenith, then the bats and other noctural flying things C^@p on your mirror.
