PAUL AND LINDA MCCARTNEY OWNED LX50 TELESCOPE.

SIR PAUL AND LINDA MCCARTNEY OWNED LX50 TELESCOPE. A 10" LX50 Meade Cassigrain Telescope, once owned and used by Paul and Linda McCartney at their Peasmarsh home. The telescope was gifted to the vendor in 2016 by MPL following a spell in storage and prior to this there is an extensive email history mostly circa mid 00s between the vendor and MPL, for whom he was working on modifications to the telescope and software to enable Sir Paul and Linda to more easily use the telescope. The correspondence notes 'great sentimental value' to Sir Paul and Linda and describes how they hoped to make use of it. The telescope is sold with two eye pieces, visual back and finder scope, telescope forks with upgraded motors, heavy duty wedge mounted on a field tripod, box of connecting cables and three controller boxes, a PC installed with all necessary software and a monitor. Note the image showing the telescope with green dome is indicative of how it was stored in Sir Paul and Linda's garden and this green dome is not included in this sale. This item is not suitable for shipping and would require a collection or private courier.

Sold for £2,200
