Astronomy & Telescopes
MPT
TeleVue Multi Purpose Telescope
5" f4 Variable focal length Petzval Refractor
TV started manufacturing a 5" Apochromatic refracting telescope named the MPT, the Multi-Purpose Telescope. It had a fast f/5 ratio, and has an adjustable diaphragm that ranged from f/5 to f/20. Only a small number were made, with the last being kept by Televue to use as a final optical quality control for all eyepieces they make.
Less than 30 were ever made.
Scope is signed by Al Nagler.
This is Televue's first production telescope using the Petzval design, stars are sharp right to the edge of the field. 5" objective has no marks, scope is in excellent shape. Iris diaphragm adjustable from f4 to f20.
Up to 5.5 degree field with 55mm Plossl. Thing of what it can do with an Ethos.
This scope is a Collector's item and comes with 2" diagonal, carrying case and original clam shell.
I think this was made in 1984.
It looks like it was never used or even taken out of the box.
The case does have some corrosion on the hinge, which it has probably been sitting on for 26 years
If you are doing Astro imaging, this is an incredible scope due to the variable focal length and flat field.
Contact me with any questions.
