Type of telescope on Star Trek In the first episode of Star Trek: Discovery, we learn that Captain Georgiou has an old-fashioned telescope in her ready room. Michael Burnham inherits it a bit later in the season. I wonder if anyone can identify exactly which telescope it is. What's the model and manufacturer? It seems to be an equatorial-mounted refractor with a finder scope.
I'm not sure this fits this site, maybe better for TV &amp; Movies, but it doesn't appear to be a historic or current telescope.

This website advertises that they sell that model Based on the look and it is similar.   It may be a  nice telescope but it's nothing special.  Certainly not worthy of being a family heirloom passed down for generations, so that doesn't really make sense and it's not a perfect match either, though it's similar.

It not being a perfect match and there being virtually no references to that telescope representing something real, it's likely not a historical telescope, which is fine.   It could be a future telescope and still be in Captain Georgiou's family for generations.  That would work because they used it in the show to look at things the ship couldn't sense due to some kind of obscuring.  A historic telescope probably wouldn't be able to do that.

Ultimately, I think Signourney Weaver as Lt. Madison said it best.
