There you go Chuck throwing out insults as usual, grow up man.. Do you really think SLAS would want it? We gave away an 18 inch scope because no one wanted to take it Star Parties. My point was that he will need to make arrangements and check and make sure he is giving it to someone who uses it. .> Just tossing-out ideas, Erik, maybe far-fetched, maybe not. I should have
known you'd have the shovel of poop ready to dump on it.
Seriously, it's got to go somewhere when Mike passes-on, may as well be an outreach-oriented astronomy club or similar institution. I personally couldn't handle it, you are correct in that few individuals would be able to. That's why I suggested eventual institutional stewardship. It's a genuine piece of history now, it would be a shame to see it go to scrap one day.
Q: What's better than owning a 70-inch telescope?
A: Having a friend or belonging to a club with a 70-inch telescope!

You want pre approval to give it in a will, seriously how many of you would really want it?
