Inventory of SMA Assets:
Discussion of possible sale of the 15” Discovery Dobsonian telescope with Telrad and extension tube for eyepiece as being too heavy and/or bulky for easy use lead to inquiry into the status of these SMA assets stored at members’ homes. The funds from the sale would allow purchase of another large telescope that would be truss-supported and better suited for transport to viewing sites. Astro-Mart is proposed as a site to assess value of the SMA telescope and potential sale and purchase of replacement.
This telescope is stored at home of Rob Burgess where the SMA 9.25” Celestron GPS
Schmidt-Cassegrain GOTO with manual, star diagonal, 26 mm eyepiece, and tripod along with
5 foot step ladder are stored.
Additional equipment are stored at homes of Ron Thompson and Forrest Sumner including
video imager, projected screen, and other telescopes with accessories to be catalogued in final
minutes.
