SM 1000 All Weather Telescope

  • This unique mounting allows both standard and handicap telescopes on one pedestal. This arrangement can be utilized in many ways: from an adult with a child viewing at the same time to one person using the standard telescope and one being used by a person in a wheelchair. Both price and space is saved with this type of installation. All SM-1000 telescopes are the same; only the mounting differs.
  • Approximate price: $5,695.00.
