Hey Jon,

The scope is an orange Celetron tube. It's from at least 1991, but that's
all I know about it.

Later,
Eddie.

Celestron made a Comet Catcher or some such thing which is a 5.5 inch F3.64
Schmitt Newtonian with a focuser that moves the secondary mirror and eyepiece
up and down the optical tube rather than moving the eyepiece in and out.

These are best for Deep Sky viewing and widefield photography rather than for
viewing the planets.

If you want to give the planets a try you will need some shorter focal length
eyepieces and probably a barlow or two.

Jon
