ATM SHSU Tinsley Cassegrain telescope

[andydtg@alpha1.phoenix.net]

Hope this is not too far off-topic.

The Sam Houston State University is relocating their off-campus
observatory & are replacing their 16" Tinsley Baker/Cassegrain
with a Meade 16" S-C.

The Tinsley telescope, on a HUGE german eq mount suitable for a 36"
I think, will be excessed as part of the relocation. It has the
following features:

Parabolic f5 primary, f15 Cassegrain focus, recently recoated optics.

Baker-corrector removable front assembly, with 4x5 film capacity, f3.6

24" approx sidereal polar drive gear 18" Byers dec gear Large
dec tangent arm guide motion. New stepper drive electronics.

Anyone interested in this instrument may contact:
