[APML] mystery scope

["Philipp Salzgeber" <philipp@salzgeber.at>]

Dear List,

I came across a scope which I cannot identify. The dealer says it is a
Cassegrain 125mm f/10. According to him a kind of barlow is integrated in
the focuser. I do not know if it is f/10 with this barlow, or without. The
dealer says also that this is a Tasco (there is no brand-name on the tube),
but produced probably in Russia or China.

Has anybody an Idea what this scope really is, or who manufactured it? The
big secondary and the relatively long tube let me think it might be
something different than a pure Cassegrain. Without the converter it maybe
could be used as a photographic scope...

here are two pictures of the scope:

any hints on the identity of this scope would be appreciated!

with best regards
