HI Everyone, I found this telescope locally for sale, but it has no name on it, no markings on the lens, just a name on the mount. I found a similar scope on the same mount on eBay's finished listings, but that listing had no information on the scope at all, its a large 150mm or so refractor. Does anyone recognize this telescope?

Picture attaches,
thank you,
Ernst

I don't know for sure but it could be an Antares f6.5 6" refractor. I have one and the scope in your picture appears similar to it. I think it may be a Canadian variant which had mounts similar to the one in your picture.
