It's been a while since posting, but here at long last are some images from the latest Patek Philippe magazine. They saw fit to contact Moonraker Telescopes because of our unique designs and quality builds, just as Netflix contacted Moonraker Telescopes to build an array for their Altered Carbon series.

I'd like to thank David Woods from DarkFrame Ltd for supplying the original mounts, disassembling and re-assembling the Moonraker customised mounts so they could take the unique loading. Thank you.

All parts seen, except a couple of clutch k***s and etched disc were machined or customised by Moonraker Telescopes.

Whilst all builds are not to everyone's liking each build is unique and centered on the clients requirements, and to date every client has been very happy.

Due to ill health we are running a little behind on all projects and thank our clients for their continued patience.
As per images {except front cover LOL... telescopes, mount, crows nest and tripod were either machined by or customised by Moonraker telescopes.

Bio-suit failure again, can't sit can't bend can't work on the lathe for now...Opiates from the Doc kinda help, but I've been told to walk,....well kinda shuffle. So bought an old Fuji x100 and we shuffled together this morning... Still changed my diet, no sugar or carbs and the RA pain is in remission Yeah! For now that is... So clichéd shots below as I can't bend or get to arty, but it was a walk with a purpose......
They're not great or good, but a start to get back into the pleasure of snapping away old fashion style..

Creative Telescope building will resume soon Apologies dear clients... Oh, coming soon a six page spread in Patek Philippe Magazine all about Us...cool. Pic when allowed.
Hope all are well Cheers me dears.....
