c4llum83 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Thought people may like to see my recent custom design for my SkyWatcher Heritage 130p... As a big Apollo misson geek, and not being a fan of the stock astronomer names wrap on the 130p, I decided to get creative. I used a great moon wall sticker just £6 from Ikea (https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/kinnared-decoration-stickers-moon-00448463/) as well as some matt vinyl stickers from Redbubble, one for each Apollo mission patch. Below is pics of the mod in progress and the end result - would love to hear what you think! Edited June 2, 2020 by c4llum83 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT65CB-SWL Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 It made me think of this one too... ...and that SkyWatcher/FLO did not release a Pringles version too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriske Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Seeing this nice scope I remember a very long time ago I made small telescope 4" or so. Grinded the mirror out of the bottom of a bottle of Genever.(Gin) That brand genever had square shaped bottles, so very difficult to figure that bottom into a parabola...😳 I'll try and find that little thing and post a picture. I do remember now, while observing and emptying that bottle we had to issues, the balance of the scope kept on changing very slowly + images got blurry all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriske Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Found it.. That's about 30 years old if I'm not mistaken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
