About this product

Model:  hubble

An excellent choice for the ambitious astronomer. 

Manufactured in 1990, this 2.4m Cassegrain Reflector telescope features Ritchey-Chrétien optics with two hyperbolic mirrors and several built-in imaging devices, including a wide-field camera for near-ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared photography and a sophisticated spectrograph for determining a target's temperature, chemical composition, density and motion. Perfect for studying dark energy, dark matter and the formation of individual stars. 

For best results, use at high altitudes. 

Buyer collects (we can provide bubble-wrap and polystyrene packing chips if that helps).

I'm now 5 years into using my Hubble but am now wondering about an upgrade to perhaps a JWST. I will most likely put my Hubble onto Ebay unless anyone wants to make me an offer. Buyer collects of course.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ 4/5 – Great for Stargazing, Slightly Overpriced

I bought the Hubble Cassegrain Reflector Telescope last week, and while it's fantastic, there are a few things potential buyers should know.

Pros:
✔️ Crystal-clear images! I waved at an astronaut, and I swear they waved back.
✔️ Comes pre-assembled (a real time-saver, unlike IKEA telescopes).
✔️ Excellent for spying—uh, I mean, studying—neighboring galaxies.

Cons:
❌ Delivery took forever—NASA apparently had to "approve the sale."
❌ The installation manual is missing a section on "How to Launch into Orbit."
❌ Mounting it in my backyard required planning approval
❌ DPD left it behind my wheelie bin, which damaged the structural wall of my Grade 2 listed home

All in all, a solid purchase! I’ve already discovered three exoplanets, a new comet, and what might be my missing socks from 2009. Just make sure you have some space (pun intended) in your backyard—and a solid legal defense for when NASA comes knocking.

On balance I am quite happy with the purchace but still a few niggles.

I was one of the early adopters for this scope, mine was the pre-386 CPU version so a bit slow to download images. The manufactures are quoting a ridiculous price for a CPU upgrade. It does have a bit of a focusing issue but nothing that Pixinsight with Blur Xterminator can't fix. So not perfect but I am very happy

Does NASA know about this?

Great piece of kit, but.....

Excellent optics (now), but I had issues with it focussing straight out of the box. I would have given it five stars, but it was not available in Red (as the Red Cat telescopes are). Great service and delivery as always from FLO.

I ran out of space on my counterbalance arm for adding weights. is it possible to add a very long extension?

Q1. How much for the "Hubble"?

The price for the Hubble will be decided by auction at a later date. You should consider additional expenses before making a bid though, as there will be other expenditure required should you win the bid. One of the most expensive additions will be the custom made Pyrex gloves needed, as the Hubble will be collection only from somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, and it will likely be a little hot!!! :-)
