Here is still another rebuild. Some may find the Dupli-Color "Metal Cast" Purple Anodized as decidedly non classic for a telescope, however this color really comes into it's own in direct sunlight. The scope, a Celestron Super Polaris C102 is my public star party scope. I call it the "Purple Planet Eater" and it is complete with green laser and "Marvin the Martian". Kids really like it.

Before the rebuild this scope was a beat up gloss black with several tube dents.
