My neighbors said they will pay me 500 dollars for this! This is a HUGE telescope that was my brother-in-laws before he passed away. Im guessing it's worth a few hundred dollers since he was a wealthy man. I have no idea on earth what telescope prices are. I even thought 500 dollars was too much please help. here are some of the specs i read from the manuel.
It is a Houghton-Cassegrain flat-field design with a f10, 15-inch clear aperture. The focal length is 150-inches. The total field of view is 2 degrees wide. The maximum image diameter at the focus point is 4.5 inches.
The rear camera attachment tube is 3.75 inches in diameter, extends 0.75 inch, with a 32-thread-per-inch outer surface.
The overall length, including 10-inch dew cap and 6.5-inch extension tube is 61.5 inches. The height including base plate is 20.5 inches. The width is 19 inches. The total weight of the lens and adapters is 347 pounds.
There are 2 of these listed on eBAY at the moment for close to $30,000. Yup I said Thirty Thousand dollars.
Take a look and see if it's the same thing, have included the link below. If it is, its worth ALOT more than $500.
