Visit my website at www.junglejoel.com – Leah is a classical era 8 inch refractor, with lots of beautiful brass hardware. It’s still used every night at the Chabot Science Center, in Oakland; California. Jupiter and Saturn look great through its eyepiece. Please rate and comment, thanks!

That is a thing of beauty, what craftsmanship and precision for that time I had no idea.
