New Video: Antique Brass Telescope

I picked up this telescope at the local flea-market about a week ago. It was brown and ugly and dirty and only after extensive cleaning was I able to get it to look something akin to what it might’ve done when it was new, by now, probably well over 100 years ago!

Here’s a simple video I did about it:

I think it’s both a beautiful, but also practical, fun and useful item. So glad to have the chance to add it to my collection. It’s got a great, smooth action and wonderful optics, despite its minor flaws here and there.
