Pier-15

Telescope

Meet Jonny 5 from Short circuit so is very cool indeed to those of a certain age...

The Samyang 135mm lens is one of those rare things in life where an inexpensive item punches well above its station, and It's why so many people use them. Roboscopes designed & commissioned a special side by side system that allows the use of filter wheels and mini PC's keeping the system very neat & tidy (we do sell the side by side system if you ever need one)
