Wanna make a scope? Or better still, grind a mirror yourself. Or, you have some good tips in making a really useful accessory? This is the place to show what your hands can do...
This high end mirror, can we use it for pimple detection??
Yap... it can even help you get rid of your pimple 1.5m away if you put it under the sun... this is call "Solar Thermal Pimple Removal Surgery" ha ha ha
Have a nice day.

With the structure, it'll be easier... insert the egg in your eyepiece holder and tighten the thumb screw, but you can only cook 1.25" or 2" eggs.... ha ha ha

Those that require urgent pimple treatment (Wee Nghee?) can insert the pimple into the eyepiece holder, tighten the thumb screw, and point the scope to the sun. The pimple will gone in a few seconds
Make sure you collimate the mirror, or it will miss the pimple!

First there must be a 2" circle template and centre dotted. Place the pimple into the dot. If scope is collimated correctly and focused it will hit the pimple. Else, the circle template will burn up.
