So many spectacular refractors of every F/L, diameter, length, color, age, origin, make and model. To be able to see so many refractors in one place, from all over the world is such a treat. There are so many beautiful telescopes shown here.
Thanks for starting this thread Scott.
I have been trying for 2 years to save to afford a mount that doesn't shake so I can get the most out of my humble AR102. (plus take and post a photo in this thread) The photo tripod with wood block mounting it has to go. Every time I get close something happens. Murphy's Law I guess, and yesterday a leak on my Envoy appeared and turns out to be a line for the transmission cooler. I have to get it fixed so I dropped it off at the mechanics this morning. Of course it's going to cost what I saved in my new mount fund for the last year to get. My first choice was a Meade Lx70 that of course is discontinued and now High Point sold out of the bunch they bought up from Meade. My second choice is a CG4 from Celestron. Now with a $325 -$375 car bill it looks like it's going to be at least another year until I can afford a mount that can carry my scope.
My point is keep posting the sweet photos of these beautiful refractors. For now I'm imagining the views everyone has through their scopes. Thanks for the hundreds of pages to drool over everyone. Keep'em coming.
