18 forum posts 16 photos	For the last few weeks I've been making a telescope wedge for my Celestron telescope. I've been filming the endeavour for Youtube in both Welsh and English. I've never made such a lengthy series of videos and tend to write things up on my Wordpress site. Anyway, here are a few photos from the build. I hope it works when we get a clear sky. I couldn't work out how to rotate some of the pictures sorry! Mod Edit: rotated photos. Edited By SillyOldDuffer on 14/07/2023 20:23:55

18 forum posts 16 photos	Thank you Howard, Huub. The anodising really does complete it, I think I need to spend a bit of time trialling a variety of polishes, grinds, brushes etc to see what results work best.

18 forum posts 16 photos	Thank you Nigel. For some reason I designed it to be red and blue. I'm glad I changed my mind 😂
