Photographs Of The Telescopes

I recently went through the notes in my observing journal. And the conclusion I came to, is that a binocular telescope is the ideal instrument for me. Or, in other words - Not only am I very keen on that type of instrument for astronomy - but, it has been the best fit for me in the past. But the fact is they aren't cheap...

Well, as promised I'd like to finally share some wonderful photographs — of the telescopes which are slated to be delivered to me.

I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to their arrival...

I plan to add a lot more details, to go along with these photos in the future. For now — they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

Feast your eyes on these beauties:

Edmund 4.25" Deluxe Space Conqueror

Front end of the E.S. 4.25" Deep Space Conqueror 

Primary mirror of the E.S. 4.25" Deep Space Conqueror 

(I like the look of the 3 simple collimation screws)

Now, for the 6" Edmund Scientifics' Super Space Conqueror:

A formidable looking instrument

And here is a (randomly selected) photo, found via Google search, of the fourth and final telescope - Which I "gave up" for microscopy 🔬

😀

It is The Edmund Scientific model 3001, 6" Newtonian reflector.

All good things to those who wait...

Clear and steady skies!
