Merci beaucoup .

OK.

The Pocket Borg is a 25mm f/7 achromat doublet, so achievable magnifications can be discerned, while sliding the objective assembly gains focus. No provision for a finderscope.

Conversation piece.

I think I recognize the first two, but the last is unclear, to me.

My PST Solar scope.

I've never used it.
Bought it back in late December, it has just brought me rain and clouds since.

I love this little telescope. It’ll break down and all fit in the included backpack in about 2 minutes. I often take it after supper on clear nights, even on work nights.

How odd. First I've seen one of this design. So it has some type of diagonal fixture within the tube assembly, like a Newtonian?

Here ya go...got it from @Lowjiber a couple of years back

It has an internal flat mirror in the rear with collimating screws. I’ve never had to adjust it though.

Whoa! It's a lovely day in the Fractorhood!

OK, just a couple. Four inch RFT, entirely home built of war surplus, that's WWII stuff, including tripod and some hardware store pipe fittings. Total investment, in 1960's dollars, $50. Of course the 4 inch 4 element design lens is IR achromatized, but at 14X with that Sherman Tank eyepiece is not a problem since it was designed to cover a foot plus size film. In background an Orion 80SD on my attempt at a universal mounting plate on my old CG4.

Clear skies, a foot of snow here,
