Just acquired this beautiful piece of history. 1887, 5.25", f12 John Byrne refractor, complete with original Byrne mount, original eyepieces and accessories. Except for the lack of lens coatings this scope rivals the finest of todays well made scopes in detail and contrast. Images were taken using a TAK EM200 mount for tracking.
