Bit dodgy handling anything from Russia at the moment! ?☠☠

Looks like a Tal 100RS on a EQ3 mount. Should be a bargain.

It is a Tal 100rs exactly the same as mine and EQ3-2 mount not a bad price. If anyone is after a 4"  achromatic refractor cannot do any better than a Tal very well made.

Yup - a Tal 100RS - great f/10 achromat, and not too bad a price on the mount, though would prefer to stick it on something a bit sturdier :).  Prices of these have gone up in recent years.  I paid £150 for mine about 2 years or so ago, that was OTA only, so this isn't a bad price.   Lovely 'proper' telescope

Actually, it's an EQ3-2, so not too bad actually for visual - though I do like it on my HEQ5.  Also works well on my Minitower, though not quite so sturdy
