SUPERSCOPES domes

[Fspp369]

Hi everyone,

l am new to SGL and a returning amateur after 30plus years.

i have a query.....

SUPERSCOPES DOME
I'm trying to find ANY information about a now long since closed company.

SUPERSCOPES.

They produced observatory domes of a high standard in the 80/90's 
I've learnt recently that they used to produce 2 wall heights (42" and 60" ) and I'm looking for information on these wall sizes and on the bits and pieces that the dome runs on.
If anyone knows ANYTHING about these domes please get in touch.
Any sort of documentation or images most welcome
Sorry can't even tell you where in the country they used to be!!

Thanks everyone.

Can anyone help?

peter.

Hello Peter.  I can't offer any technical information about the domes but Superscopes was operated by Phil Stone in Bedford.

I have an old Superscopes EQ mount and Phil's engineering skills are certainly second to none.

Phil is a member of Bedford Astronomical Society. You might try contacting him through their website. Hope this helps.
