I put this telescope up for sale earlier this month but didn't get too many inquiries. I think it may have been due to not knowing the manufacturer.
I purchased this scope in the early 1990's at a local camera store. It is a 4.5 inch mak-newt. It has a .935" focuser. It uses a unique flip mirror system to change from the focuser to a built-in 5x finder scope. The objective has the word "Soligar" printed on it, but I'm not sure if that refers to the manufacturer or model. It looks like the short newtonian konus Scope, but as I said this is a catadioptic telescope. It came with the equatorial mount you see in the picture.
I may have a rare gem or a entry level mass produced telescope (from somewhere in the world). Does anyone know the origin of this telescope?
