I need help replacing my aging telescope.
Donation protected
Hello! I am Michael Boyle! I have posted my Astro-photographs online for years for hundreds maybe 1000's to enjoy for years! And it's been my pleasure to do so! But now my scope is showing it' age. I've rebuilt the wooden base 3 times. The silver on the mirror is getting thin after nearly 20 years. Plus it was not designed for photography! I built a platform that would track for a few minutes for quick photographs. I want to replace my old friend with a scope of a similar mirror size that is made for photography like the one below. The cost will run between 4000 to 6000 dollars depending on the mount and model of the scope. I'm commited to this lifetime hobby! I have taken a job and saved 2000 so far for it . but it will take a while! Would you like to help me?
