Name the scopes you've owned...


Recommended Posts

Mine are mostly in my sig as I still own most of them :smiley:  -

4" newt on alt/ az

8.75" f7.3 Fullerscope newt on a gem.

4.5" tasco T11 newt on a gem.

12" Meade lx200gps sct, alt/az with wedge. 

80mm f6.8 ED revelation Frac ota (little red scope)

6" Astronomica Mak ota. 

300 mm f6, custom build, OO newt  (1/10th wave) on OO dob base.

10" Meade, f6.3 lx6 with wedge. 

C11 ota

Interestingly if I add up the total aperture and divide by number of scopes I get 8" and if I do the same with the 'f' I get f 8.1 ish. If I could only own one scope it could well be a nice 8" f 8  :smiley:

Actually - I see you have an 80ED - I have been thinking about one of those for a while.........

It's an absolutely awesome little scope. I was thinking of getting the WO megrez but I got the 80ED instead :) never looked back
