World's Biggest Harbour Master Telescope. |
The Ross London 56" HarborMaster |
the classic 56" Brass Terrestial Telescope with 63" Mahagony Tripod |
|
This Ross London® telescope is one of the most classical and collectible telescopes in our inventory. It is 56-inches long, easily the longest in its category and boasts an impressive 63-inch high mahogany tripod. The telescope uses highest quality ground-glass precision achromatic optics to produce the brightest and sharpest non-inverted image of any of our telescopes. This harbourmaster turns heads wherever you install it and will transform living rooms, beachhouses, boat decks and classy offices with its impressive shine and finish. The 32-power optical design, coupled with its gigantic 60 mm objective lens, gives it the perfect balance between
terrestial magnification and field of view. Too much magnification restricts how much you can see through the scope and
too little makes the telescope a mere decorative. Terrestial scopes usually reach their upper magnification limit at
between 48x to 60x and anything more than that gives very poor focus. Note that this is primarily a terrestial telescope
with a precision rack and pinion focus and is not intended for "celestial" observations - although it does make the moon
look rather nice! |
