Hi all
I recently required this little gem of a refractor telescope
its understandable that Moonraker telescopes is not going to appeal to everyone and was unaware if i should place this thread in the classic section of CN or the refractor section which i decided to place this thread.I personally wouldn’t call it a classic it’s more retro! i guess as this moonraker (GALAXY CLASS) was manufactured in the 21st century.the telescope is a 90mm (3.5”) f8.9 achromat which is manufactured out of MgF2 Japanese glass elements and i must admit was very impressed with the optical quality and would definitely say it’s on par with a ED doublet.However do many amateurs actually use these steam punk,slightly industrial looking refractor telescopes in the field,and I’m not so sure!.So as the telescope will be for sale shortly I’m unware the path i should take.Do i advertise in the CN sections or perhaps go to a specialist auction site instead.
far as I’m aware mark at moonraker has now retired and these telescopes are no longer in production.I did also look at the price list of these instruments so i am aware how much they cost originally.
