Posted By Robert Watters
These are easy to miss sometimes because the flower is usually hanging (nodding) below the leaves.

Scope ID?

Posted By Robert Watters
Can anyone help with the identifying this scope?
It is a 6" F5 fiberglass tube newt and has cast aluminum tube ends that are polished. It originally had a pretty rustic metal helical focuser.
It smells old. smile


Thanks,
Robert W.
