Description

An unfinished mosaic of the moon acquired on a single evening with a heavy, old and clunky Newton at the Observatoire de Meudon (Paris). I do not know the exact optical formula, but it has a ~20-25cm diameter and ~2-6m focal length.

This telescope has been rather unused lately, and the tracking is completely off. But it is a lot of fun to use as the pointing is done entirely manually.
