[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 31613, member: 360"]According to some videos I've seen, that sliding extension at the front is both a sun-shield and a dew-shield, to keep sun-glare away from the lens, and to prevent condensation on the glass. I'll try doing some research about C. Simon. But it won't be easy. I don't even know where I'd start. What kind of people would use a telescope like this? Sailors? Seamen? Navy men? Astronomers/star-gazers? Would it have been expensive back when it was made?[/QUOTE]
