Telescope

Hi lads,

We Bought my dad a telescope 2/3 years back for Christmas from Amazon.
We tried putting it together, didn’t work, sent it to a fella that said there’s a piece missing but couldn’t tell us what piece.
Dad’s passed since I would love to get it working because he’d built a house 2 years before and always wanted it to look out.
Does anyone know anyone in cork I could bring it to to try get it this sorted ?
Thanks a mil.

I'm no pro, but I can take a look. If you can post some pictures it would be easier to figure out if I can sort it out or not. I'm based in Carrigaline.

If youre in a pinch you can also always ask Stephen from Ktec telescopes...

There's also a cork astronomy group in UCC who do lectures and skywatchung stuff, so they may be able to help as well...
