5" Unitron Photo EQ M-510

Now that the will is being settled, i will have the money to buy some things i
want!

I'm looking for a model 510 Unitron 5" Photo Equatorial with the field tripod,
i know this is a hard scope to come by. If anyone knows of such a scope for
sale let me know! I will pay a nice finders fee, for this scope...

It's nice to _think_ about owning one of these. But why not spend your money on
a Bisque Paramount ME and a TEC MCT instead? Based on what people want for 5
and 6 inch Unitrons, you probably won't spend any more money, and I guarantee,
you will be much happier.

A field tripod? And you thought handling a 12" SCT was difficult....

What happened is we got screwed in the court battle. So now i am stuck with
about 80,000 instead of $750,000.

So after paying off some stuff, and putting some money into the house, it
leaves me without $15,000 for a 5" Unitron.

Sorry to hear that, that's quite a difference. Good luck
on the 5" Unitron.

I saw one a couple years ago on display in the lobby of the
planetarium on the grounds of the Air Force Academy in Colorado.
Apparently used as a solar telescope. Very impressive! Of course the
public is no longer allowed on the base as a result of 9/11.

Chas,
I have no personal knowledge of the scope you are set on buying and could
not recognize it but there was a large unitron on a ~5 ft pier on display at a
telescope wholesaler in CT. It had huge setting circle rings on a GEM mount.
The dealers name is Pauli. I think he still advertizes in S&T. I think the
scope came out of a school.
Good luck on your quest.
