Your Favorite 3 Telescopes ???

[NGC188]

I can only give you two (2), however, these two telescopes will always be with me. They both do very different things to my observing, and they do what I want very well. So here goes (not in order of favorite, as I consider them both #1's):

A) My first serious telescope which I purchased in 1975 -- an original orange tubed C8"-SCT. This has been the 'warhorse' of my addiction with the stars. This one will never leave my side...

my Tele-Vue NP101. What a gem; it does some things so well I can't imagine it not standing side-by-side with the old 'Orange Tube'. Al and the boys can sure put together 'works-of -art' of glass inside tubes...

So those are the two (2) I will never part with as long as my hobby remains strong. Since I've been at it for nearly four (4) decades now, these boys are staying put...cya
