Description

I had the opportunity to get a more serious refractor, but for that I had to part with my Maksutov-Cassegrain 127/1500 "Papa Steven" (I have the tradition to name my telescopes ). This little MAK has grown close to my heart, I hope it will give its new owner many, many happy and evenings and lots of observations!

On the night of 18.03.2024 we observed the Moon one last time together .
The seeing was horrible, I could barely even get focus. But just look at those shadows in Plato and the one cast by Mons Pico...!

It was good together, but now I'm letting you go. Goodbye, Papa Steven, thanks for everything! :')
