I need help on this one new
      #2105692 - 01/08/08 03:57 PM

I have asked for information on this scope, and I got a reply of it being a 50mm 150x refracting telescope... the tripod is 54" or so.

Any ideas?



Thanks,
Trav

Can you post a close-up picture of the label on the focuser? That would help.

Without that, it's pretty hard to say more. Sorry.

Hi Trav!

Welcome to Cloudy Nights and the Classic Telescope forum! I am very interested in seeing your picture but it has been removed. Can you repost it? It may have been too big and was removed by one of the moderators.

Kinda looked like a sears in the picture.... But I haven't much experience with older scopes.... I did ask for a picture of the label, but no reply as of yet.
