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...
Looks lovely Sarjeet! Wishing you many enjoyable nights with your scope!

I saw this scope this evening, and it is nicely done! Unfortunely the rain prevented us from setting this up for viewing. I am happy that Sarjeet has put this lens to good use, otherwise it would be languishing in my dry cabinet.
Thanks Cataclysm [Kelvin right?] and Andrew for the compliments.
Not only was Richard's lens put to good use, his 12 inch dovetail plate was also the right size! The Howie Glatter collimator I got from him was also timely when I needed to install my focuser.
