If I try to make a little spotting scope out of a cheap 35-40mm toy telescope, how would I mount an achromat into a cell so that the lense would be undamaged and so that it could be secured into the telescope tube? I'm thinking that I'd look at securing it between a couple of rubber washers or something... smile

I have several telescopes, but none are semi-APO, APO, or in anyway valuable.

If you could find some PVC or ABS that just fit in the tube (might have to sand it down a little) and cut some thin rings. These could be glued in place with the lense between.
