Caldwell-14 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hi all. Old member returning after several years away. Been through a number of scopes over the past few years. I sold my largely unused 10 inch OO dob to pay for a new laptop (doing a master's degree) and had been scope-less all summer. Currently I use a lovely Towa 339 80mm fl15 on it's original wooden tripod with GEM. I always had a thing for classic Japanese refractors. For a 100 quid all in with some eyepieces too how could I refuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweller25 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Wecome back to SGL. I used to have a 76mm f/15 refractor - very nice it was too. Clear skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurcher Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Welcome back! (I joined late this Summer). I've just looked up some typical pics of your new scope as I'm never too sure what is what. Nice scope and I like the beautiful wooden tripods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldwell-14 Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Thank you. The optics are just fantastic and for a scope made in the early 70's it's not at all in bad condition. I will give the wooden tripod a clean and treat it to spot of Danish oil but other than that I intend to leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
