About this image

This telescope was made by Len Clucas (BAA Horace Dall Medal). The objective is old (Victorian?) and set in a brass cell. Focal ratio is f12. I will post an image of the cell if anyone would like to hazard a guess at the maker.

Hi Tom,

I was under the impression that this OG was from the Lilburn Tower Observatory and was 7 inch Merz and Mahler. Or is that another OG that Len has worked on?
