Hi all, To cut a long story short, due to lockdown boredom and internet rabbit holes I've cobbled together a DIY barlow and eyepiece out of various camera lens bits. However I'm struggling to find a suitable (and cheap) place to get tubing of the right size and with current lockdown restrictions in Wales I can't really go and physically look at stuff. Has anyone done something similar and know of a decent cheap source? Ideally looking for something for the barrel to go into the focuser and the top section to slot an eyepiece into. Thanks in advance

I've found the ad and pinged the guy a message pointing him at this thread, so hopefully he'll get in touch 🤞

There is a guys on the astro buy and sell groups on facebook that does electronics repairs for mounts etc, may be worth a look and a bit less expensive 👍

Just joined and looking forward to a good dig through the forum, also a member of cloudynights, but was looking for a forum a little more UK centered Currently have a Celestron Nexstar 4SE, an old Konus 70mm refractor and my daughter has an Celestron 102 GT plus various budget eyepieces, I find I get more time for forum reading that observing, mainly down to the rubbish weather...
