I built one of those back in about 1986.. It was my first intro into Astrophotography. Those were the film days no stacking available. Then I took almost 35 years off and started again last year in 2020. Thanks Nico for bringing back the memories.

Very cool video, I too am going to give it a build.

I built one of these from a commercially available kit (which is also motor-driven). Haven't had a chance to use it yet, since our weather sucks lately. It includes a green laser pointer to facilitate polar alignment. They also offer a red dot finder; either of these would be a lot easier than sighting through the straw.

Great DIY skills Nico :-) - really interesting that it worked as well as it did, albeit with the frustration of looking through the eye pieces for so long. Makes me want to build one just to see if i can make it work. Keep up the great content
