I have an old JC Penny refractor you can slice up! On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 10:27 AM, Steve Fisher <iotacass1@hotmail.com>wrote:
Utah Astronomy list members! I’m preparing for a large event next Tuesday and as part of the event I have been looking for some “trash scopes”. It seems if I search KSL dot com for telescopes these trash scopes have always shown up for $ 20-$30. Wouldn’t you know it there have been none available for a while and I would like to find some ALT-AZ mount and GP mount scopes that we can demonstrate different types of scopes, mounts and dissect them for people at the event to show how telescopes work, (refractor, reflector) how mounts work and why you should never buy a “trash scope”.
Let me know if you have some scopes like this or know where I can buy some. I’m sure there might be some in this weekends yard sales but I hate to drive all over town.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
