We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .

This is not your normal telescope! It just shows you what can be bought on ebay!

Better that old people should die of talk than to have young people die in war.

Definitely not your normal telescope. A cinetheodelite is designed to record missile or bomb tests, and other fast-moving aerial phenomena.
It's essentially the optical tube and alt-az mount of a specialized f/6 cinecamera.

Yeah, recently outbid on a SAM system mounted on a re-inforced Hummer chassis. - Bummer.
Mind you it would have looked weird parked outside my semi-D-3bed, but it would have been a convenient way to reduce contrails over firhouse.

Yeah,
I looked at the images and I immediately tought that someone has got a job lot off a decommisioned US Navy ship. The price and hassel makes it a non starter unless you live in a region that the US think may be aiding terrorists.
