What to do with the Carcass

Here's some ideas:

1. Waterproof it and turn it into a fountain.

2. Flock the inside with aluminum foil, cut a hole in your roof, and use it as a light tube for an interior room.

3. Would make one heck of a mortar for fireworks.

4. A giant mailing tube.

5. A coffin for an astronomer? Nah, need more aperture and focal length.

6. The world's largest kalidoscope?

Well, you know, Jon...I did the same thing...that is, coverted my 12.5 Starfinder to a truss tube about 10 years ago. And I wondered what to do with the remains, plastic focuser and all. I offered 'em to local aspiring amateurs but had no takers. So that big ol' white tube sat in the garage for about 8 years. Finally, during the last rennovation of good, old Chaos Manor South, off to the dump it went. Sigh.
