The telescope in the basement

I went down to my family's house on Cape Cod a couple weekends ago. It used to belong to my grandparents, and was passed down to my mother and her three siblings when my grandmother, Janice, passed. My grandfather, Dave, started work on a small addition to the house before he died. The telescope was made by my uncle Steve, and is certainly at home in this engineer's basement.

 These were the only two photos that came out at all, and they are still a bit underexposed. I still wanted to share. I'll probably be back soon to try again.
