ROE scope
The Royal Observatory Edinburgh is decommissioning a scope, and have suggested that if any astronomical society wish to take it off their hands to make contact ASAP. Comes with mount and associated 1960's electronics so may require a bit of TLC to get working.
Worth a look anyway, if anyone has a place to put/store it until it could be recomissioned.
I saw the link on stargazerslounge, and thought of here.
