Can you name this scope?

I was given this Meade refractor by an uncle years ago. The aperture is 10cm and I think the focal length is 1m.

Anyone know what model it is?

Are you sure it's not a 90mm objective lens? There's a Meade 390 f/11 AltAz that looks very similar

From looking at it, I think it's a Meade 390/395, 90mm F:/11.

I agree with the above posters - a Meade 90mm F/11.

Actually, you could be right. I can't actually get inside the hood to measure the actual diameter of the lens. The hood diameter is 10cm, but the lens is a little smaller than that.

Thank you!

btw - why won't my Clear Outside widget embed properly? I am using the BBcode from the Clear Outside website. You seem to have managed it!

I  agree that it is a 90mm f/11 scope.   They are reported to have a nice objectives.  I briefly had one I sold before ever looking through it.  The person I sold it to keeps telling me how great it is.   I think I sold it too cheap. 🤪   I think I have a Meade catalog that shows it.

No idea - it's been a while since I set it up. I can;t remember how I did it, now!

If I edit it by double-clicking on it in my signature settings, I get the following:

try by inserting either the 'link' or 'code' items:

how are you getting to that Image dialog? My signature box doesn't appear to give me that option

Hmmm.. I tried both, but it's not working for me. Which was it you inserted? The BBcode or the HTML?

[StuartT]

BINGO!

Thanks! 👍

[Pixies]

Well done. I see your forecast is no better than mine!

actually, the Clearoutside widget should probably be renamed to the Clearlynotanygood widget. 

Here is what it's showing and yet we have completely clear skies at the moment!!
