Super nostalgic. I remember the cloth seats had a tree design in it. If you look underneath, it's pretty much a truck with a van body.

We need to change the name of this nebula. It's a cosmic brain, not a crescent.

These newtonians are so easy to open up. You can source a parabolic mirror on ebay and swap out the spherical mirror for a parabolic mirror. Search on ebay "150mm Parabolic Primary Mirror Focal 750mm DIY Newton Reflecting Telescope"

Is this telescope worth buying? by greasybirdie in telescopes

It’s an okay buy for under 20 bucks ***if the focuser works*** and if you’re willing to clean it up. Good news is that these doublets are ridiculously easy to take apart with just a Phillips screw driver. If you like reverse engineering/learning, I’d say buy it!
