Finderscope

I mentioned that I needed to reduce the length of one part of the assembly. While doing so, I switched from PVC to aluminum tube. It took some work to find the right diameter. My wife suggested that rather than try for white, I should go for bright polish and it does look very nice this way. 

I was planning to blacken the interior of the aluminum tube parts. It seems to be optically fine for now. If it does not present itself optically well tonight, I will disassemble and blacken.

Right now, it is optically quite sharp and I expect it will work well for the intended purpose: wide field low power.
