This is a 4 inch Jaegers f - 8.6 refractor that I acquired from Vincent J. Catanzaro of Philadelphia, PA 19152. The telescope tube assembly was bought and assembled by Vincent from all Jaegers parts in 1970. It has sharp, contrasty images despite the short lens focal length.
Here we see the observers end of the 6 inch Jaegers instrument. Notice the original red focusing knobs.
The 6 inch is ready for tonights viewing..
Here's a shot of one of Dans favorite all time instruments! Dan McKeel 6 inch Jaegers F-15 Refractor.
I watched a lot of the 2003 Mars Opposition with this telescope as pictured in my back yard in the summer of that year. This 3.25 inch Jaegers lens is mounted in a homemade telescope. The instrument yeilds very beautiful images! The mount is an Edmund Scientific from late 1960's or early 70's. The colorful tripod is from a surveyors transit.
6 inch refractor showing what I believe is original Jaegers finderscope. Note green finder objective housing. The focuser is all Jaegers and original with chrome brass draw tube and red "Bakelite" focusing knobs. This scope really has a lot of color!!
6 inch f-10 Jaegers refractor on slightly modified Edmund Scientic Co. mount. Photo taken in my back yard with telescope facing east.
I used this scope the evening this image was taken to see Comet Macholtz
The Moon taken with a Nikon 990 Digetal camera on the night of Dec 1, 2004. Image taken with 40 mm University Optics eyepiece, at only 38 x. Conditions windy, good transparancy. I took this by only hand holding the camera to the eyepiece. Much more fine detail seen at the telescope than what is visible in this shot.
