New to me, Tal Alcor telescope

[oldfella]

I actually joined this forum some years ago, but fell by the wayside, during this time I actually bought a couple of Tal 1's. Due to their bulk and weight they did not get used so they went on their travels to others. My interest has been rekindled, and liking Tal's I looked out for and found a Tal Alcor, it is lovely, so my learning curve is about to start with a lighter telescope.

Welcome back @oldfella. The TAL Alkor is a lovely little scope. Optically excellent, they are great fun and surprisingly capable for such a small scope. I love mine! 👍

Hi, and a very warm welcome back to the Lounge

Love Tals. I've had a Tal 1, Tal 2 and now have a Tal 200K, this is a keeper and will not be sold 👹

Welcome back :). Another TAL fan here - I have two of the TAL achromat refractors, a 100RS and a 125R. I love the robust build of the TALs and their generally excellent optics! Hope you get some quality time and clear skies for your Alkor soon!
