Craziest thing happened today. I have a Cottage Food biz & Fridays are my Roast Day & free delivery in the area day. One of my regular customers messaged me this morning & said a little birdie had told them that I was interested in astronomy and would I be interested in a 6’ long telescope because it was in a house that was part of an estate and they needed to rehome it. Would probably be affordable, she said. I was put in touch with the disposal person and asked how affordable “affordable” might be. They said they were hoping to get $50. I said I could do that and it was in my possession within the hour.
The telescope is a homemade Dobsonian with a 12” mirror and mirror coatings that by themselves was $200. The scope has a Moonlight Crawford focused that is worth $300-400. All together everything is worth an easy $2K. 😳 Here are the Pentax pieces: https://i.imgur.com/Swm5LDF.jpg They are worth around $200 each (used). The 12” diameter is going to be a major upgrade from my 8” dob, allowing me to see much fainter objects!
