Bogbits and Beantin Telescope
This a telescope I made from an old reconnaissance camera lens, some plumbing bits, a baked-bean tin and various other bits and pieces.
With a 40mm eyepiece it's a nice, if heavy, "comet-catcher" type instrument.
If you want more details of its construction, there is a chapter on it in my book, Amateur Telescope Making, 1998, London, Springer-Verlag, ISBN 1-85233-000-7
