Meade DS-2000 series Telescope on eBay (end time 09-Dec-10 00:29:23 GMT)

When i saw the pic in the list of telescopes i just 'had' to check out the item,even though its not something i'd be interested in,which i suppose is what advertising is all about.

I reckon i could get a camera on that too

I think he adjusted the mount so he could get it closer to the wall.

me, I'd have just turned it sideways.....

I dare you to email that thought.

LOL.

Made me giggle

I have one like this and i know why its like it :-) The real reason is the guy is really short and wouldn't be able to see though the eyepiece.

Unusually heavy objective lens maybe? Plutonium glass?

Or maybe the photo only shows half the telescope. The other half is poking through a hole in the wall...

Where do you guys find these things?

lol, these meade telescope shave many strange properties. there's been one of these for sale on the notice board of the co op where i work for the last 18 months, in that time the price has fallen from £160 to £125 and the scope has changed from an 80mm reflecting and refracting telescope, through a 80mm reflector to now a 90 mm refractor !!

i'm almost been tempted to go view it a few times just to see what the hell it really is
