Last Friday night, Morticia suggested we head up to the local Amish auction house (she's a cheap date). It is a huge place, and there's no telling what might show up, but it is always interesting.
Anyway, as I was perusing the piles of stuff, I found a Galileo 4.5" reflector in what looked to be decent condition. Considering the audience, I figured it would go for next to nothing.
I was right - $12.50 and it was mine!
(not my pic - this is one just like mine on ebay).
It is a pretty cheap scope. Small eyepiece tube, and a really crappy barlow, but it seems to be solid. It needs a little love, but I hope to have it out and in action soon.

cool enjoy it. Should be fun to see what it can do.
