Hi Al:Well, what a great story! Actually got it at the store! Amazin'!As for me, it seems hard to believe by today's perspective, but there wasabsolutely no way my family could afford $79.95 for a telescope. Not happenin'.However, my late father asked around, and it turned out that someone he knewthrough the TV station where he worked at (as a broadcast engineer) had boughtthe PJ for his kid. The kid, however, had wanted a GO CART, NOT A TELESCOPE,and was pitching a duck-fit. This gentleman agreed to sell the PJ to us for 50bucks. This was still a lot of money, but gathering up all the dough I'd gottenfor the last several years from aunts and uncles and grandmothers, etc. onbirthdays and Christmases, and with a substantial contribution from my dad, wewere able to swing it.

I got one in 1973 (birthday present). Good optics and mechanics for thesize, though the equatorial mount is rather undersized. I still have it,though it hasn't been out for a while - my XT6 fills the "quick look"niche these days. But even though I don't use it much, I can't bear topart with it - too many memories, over too much time.This is the scope I first split Epsilon Lyrae with, and M42/43, and manyothers. The next Mars opposition I was out sketching every clear night.M57, Albireo, Mizar, . . . I think I'll take it out to my back yard thenext clear night and see what it can do again.The eyepiece is, most likely, the 25 mm Kellner that shipped with it. OKfor a Kellner of the era, I suppose - but a cheap Chinese import Plosslwill have better coatings and a wider field of view. If this is yourfirst scope, you may want to spring for a few good basic eyepieces fromsome place like Hands On Optics or Orion.

Palomar Jr. is an interesting name for a telescope.There is a finder scope that seems to focus ok but there seems to be pitting or decades of dust on the its lens. The mirrors seem to be in nice shape (the tube was covered) and all I have is one old lens that looks as it has seen a lot of use. Any idea of what the focal length might be? It looks to be about 1000mm? A new finder scope and some new eyepieces are in the planning stages. George

Boy, does this bring back memories--I still have my first telescope, a 3",f/10 Edmund "Space Conqueror" reflector, complete with its 0.917" Ramsden(microscope) eyepieces and fixed equatorial fork mount on a hardwoodtripod. It was purchased in 1958 for $29.95. I remember seeing the"hole" in M-57 quite distinctly. The mirrors are still in surprisinglygood condition.Dale

I had to take the mirror out of the Edmund to clean it, (which worked prettywell actually), and now that its back in need to collimate it again.However now that i own a C-8 and the Televue Pronto, i havent actually hadthe Edmund out except occasionally.I think i have the complete set of instructions for it around somewhere too. -jcp-

I have been given an old reflector telescope that I was told had beenproduced by the Edmund Scientific company sometime in the late 50s orearly 60s. The scope had been stored for years and seems to be in niceshape. It is a reflector with what appears to be a 4+ inch mirror andis mounted on a single pipe mount with three legs at the bottom (not atripod) The tube is long and bright white. There is one old eyepiece,looks to be a 1.25 inch size and maybe 35 or 40mm across. Can anyonegive me some info on old Edmund scopes, particulary this one?ThanksGeorge
This is a scope Edmund sold from the 50s into the 70s, and was usually calledthe "Palomar Junior". I still have mine, it being the first serious scope of myown that I got my hands on (1965). What's it like? The mirror is spherical, butat the large focal ratio of this scope, f/10-11, it performs excellently. It iscapable of doing a good job on the planets and the deep sky within the boundsof its 4 inch aperture. The mount, in typical 60s fashion is more "heavy" andless "solid" than it should be. But I love my PJ! BTW, the earlier models had awooden tripod, while the mid-sixties and on examples had a metal pedestalinstead. Some years back, I used this silly old telescope to observe everysingle Messier object from my city location. Fun. Frustrating sometimes, butfun. And I was ultimately successful.Peace,Rod MolliseAuthor of _Choosing and Using a Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope_Like SCTs and MCTs?Check-out sct-user, the mailing list for CAT fanciers!Goto

Thanks for the replies and the great stories! In 1962 I also lived in the Philadelphia area (Norristown) and at age 11 I also had a telescope, a Gilbert 3 inch reflector with a black rolled cardboard tube and plastic lens. I could actually see the rings of Saturn with it. I am looking forward to using the Palomar Jr and maybe renewing the interest I had as a kid.Thanks,George
