Description: | This telescope has a 3 element cemented Rolland Christen triplet for the objective. The in focus images are very sharp and the refractor only shows a dim purple halo on Venus. The out of focus spot is red on one side of focus and light green on the other. The telescope tube is not well baffled but produces an acceptably contrasty image. Focuser locks are of the non marring, cinch ring style and I believe that the focusser is manufactured by Unitron. It has an unusual feature in that there is an internal 2 " id drawtube that slip fits inside a 2.36 " focusser mechanism. It's 8 " length allows a quick change from direct viewing to use of a diagonal, but vignets the 2 " field somewhat.
