Pedro:
You have a wonderful and incredible collection of astronomical accesories.
I have gathered a lot of things too during my 70 years in the hobby, but never near as you, you really have a museum.
Fuerte abrazo,
Eric.

Pedro,
I gotta ask. Do you have a Unitron in your collection? I always wanted one of those. I remember their ads in Astronomy magazine back in the 1970's.
