Just Curios, What’s Your Smallest Scope?

[David Totney]

Mine’s a 60mm ED doublet (Altair 60EDF). I never cease to be amazed at just how much I can see with this little telescope. I’ve seen shadow transits on Jupiter. I can see Titan (Saturn) and often Rhea. I can also see the Ring Nebula with a bit of averted vision.

Telescopes: One Newtonian, three Maksutov Cassegrains, seven refractors, and a large SCT.

Perhaps this is cheating, but it is still a refractor telescope by essentially all definitions.

Yep, that is small. It’s certainly dwarfed by my ‘Titchy Sixty’. lol
