An unusual original Cave 10 inch f 7.2 Newtonian Telescope. E-mail me at alpaslow@yahoo.com
This instrument still has original mirror coatings dated Aug 10, 1958 !
Close-up of the Equatorial mount. In this photo you can see the famous black with "white speckles paint" job trade-mark of early Cave instruments. Note the big locking knobs on both axises and the brass setting circles.
In this image polar axis is not quite pushed down all the way into its housing.
