Abstract
This project is typical of those suitable for someone who has a collection of leftovers from previous projects. Steven Lee raided his junk box to construct this very portable 6 in f/5 instrument for an additional outlay of about A$30. He has designed a slide focuser in order to minimise the secondary obstruction. As with all shoestring projects, the main skill required is that of finding and adapting the components — the construction itself is simple.
