That looks like that 8" homemade refractor i saw in Sky& Tele back around 1980
or 81. That would be perfect for me!!!

That's a 10" F15 Zeis doublet achromat with one of my Trispace color correctors
installed to remove the horrible chromatic aberration of this instrument. It's
mounted on a large Byers German equatorial.
