This elegant garden telescope will not only solve the purpose of stargazing but can be considered as a beautiful art piece and also works as a sundial. This handmade bronze sculpture can be placed in your garden, terrace or roof deck. It is a redevelopment of the Porter Garden Telescope with enhanced optics, and its sales rights areexclusively to Telescopes of Vermont. Russell Porter, one of the designers of the Palomar Mountain Observatory 200-inch Hale telescope, made the original Porter Garden Telescope in the 1920s. All you have to do is pay a price of $37,000 and this art of work will be yours. Each telescope is a numbered limited-edition sculpture.
A telescope is 35 inches high when fully extended, and about 70 inches overall when including the pedestal. You can permanently keep it outdoors, or it can be easily moved and placed elsewhere. The mirror and eyepieces of the telescope are readily removable in just seconds.
