alan potts Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Nice shot Calvin, I saw the Moon last night for about 2 minutes before it started raining and it hasn't stopped since, this is as bad a living in the Lake District for weather, just a bit warmer.

cotterless45 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Superb ! You can prolong tent life by not exposing it to direct sunlight. Something easily achievable up north,Old Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trynda1701 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Cool shot of one of the next generation of stargazers! :cool: :cool:What size scope is that Freddie is using? And how does it focus, it looks like that's the focuser on top of the tube halfway between the diagonal and the tube pivot point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estwing Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 It's the scope in my sig not the 18" one! Look it up they're quite nice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trynda1701 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Just finished looking up info on the Telementor, including a very nice Youtube video. Classic scope indeed, VERY unusual design with that focussing mechanism!When I had saw the Telementor mentioned in your sig, I thought it was an eyepiece or filter type!Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabeoo1 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 If you see one for sale....buy it!Is there a queue? Do I need to get one of those tickets like a 1990's deli counter ? Someone tell me the way to Telementor.Great scope ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trynda1701 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Oddly enough, there is a Telementor 2 optical tube assembly on eBay as I type this. Tube only, no other accessories or mount. Going to keep an eye on it to see what it goes for!Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trynda1701 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The Telementor auction on eBay ended at just under £220. No, it wasn't me who bought it!Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
