Cardboard Tubing For Telescope Making ..and other bits was created by steven
Amateur Telescope Making Bits ......doing a clear out , too good to throw away.
Two pieces of large diameter cardboard tubing-
Can be coated in Polyurethane to make telescope OTA.. see finished product photo also.
I have a few other telescope making bits see photos if anyone is interested let me know
Might suit someone making 8" or 8.75" telescope ...
These are surplus to requirements
1100mm x 250mm ID
300mm x 250mm ID
2" Crayford focuser & mount plate to suit 8-10" scope- but no adapters
Spider, no mirror holder from Skywatcher 10"
Spider& mirror holder- home made from 8" scope old DTG 8.75
A couple of small computer fans- for cooling mirror cell.
probably have some teflon bearings & other bits about also.
Let me know if anyone is interested, just dont want to bin em, if someone will use them
Based in Dublin, collection only
Thanks for looking

There's some really good, useful stuff there for a budding telescope maker. A bargain to be had.
