The scope was clearly labelled "Nishimura", the Japanese company that made (and
is still making) numerous college and research size scopes. (As a side note for
anyone interested in naval history, Admiral Nishimura commanded one of the
three Japanese battle groups in the battle of Leyte Gulf during WWII, and was
killed when the Americans executed the last "crossing the T" maneuver in Naval
history.)Â
Ain't that interesting???

Gene had the primary mirror of a large Celestron SCT without its corrector

it ended up with a local school or university at some point.

Was this a complete scope or just a set of Cassegrain optics?
I recall Gene lucas had a set of optics, not sure if they are the ones.
