[ATMoB-discuss] RE: [ATMoB-announce] Alvan Clarke refractor up for auction in Boston

[Peter Bealo]

The Clark is really an OTA only - Ken Launie reports (on Oldscope list) that
the mount is not original. Also - the objective is at least chipped.

Personally, I am far more interested in the Garden Telescope...that's what I
drool over

It would be interesting to hear how much the Clark goes for.  Any
ideas/guesses?
