gsjag Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hi Paul,Yes, the telementor was made for schools and in the usual Zeiss way, was an excellent instrument. Would be a welcome addition to anyones collection!Anyway, welcome (especially if you still have the telementor ;-) )Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulibbo Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 Thanks to every one for thier warm welcome i now have my sw200 all i need now is some clear skies when i,m not on night shifts,my first proper session with a telescope was with a ziess telementor at the 1988 astrocamp in sussex we where joined by Heather Couper and Nigel Henbest who were very complementery about the scope so i have very fond memorys.As soon as i can get some observing done i will post the results, quick question how do you fill the legs of an eq5 tripod with sand as several members have said this would increase the stability?and i do not fancy hanging a heavy wieght from it as one of the wifes yorkshire puddings could cause untold damage. :saturn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
