This group was started as a result of discussions on the Cloudy Nights Classic Telescope Forum. It has been started by the participating members of that forum in order to post and present information for public use, files, photos, stories and links of interest to telescope men / women wishing to preserve and or restore classic telescopes for future generations. All links, Photos, Files, are welcome and greatly appreciated! "Classic Telescope" is a great term we use for the telescopes we all love. How old is a "Classic" it may not matter as many feel a few telescopes like the Telvue 101 is a Classic right out of the box. If you find a scope and are wondering about it and want some information, feel free to post what information you have or Email a photo and we will more than likely tell you more than you want to hear... LOL
Thank you Clint (Caveman) Whitman.
