5" Refractor Cell+Objective Quick Fix

[COLOR="Purple"]I've had a 5" refractor objective mounted in a square wooden tube for a while. It worked but the cell moved around too much for my tastes. Not critical since this is a 5" f/5 low power, sweep the MW kinda scope.

I finally got around to doing a quick fix to more securely mount the cell and keep it from moving around as much. It's still not perfect but hey, the scope was working pretty well even as loose as it was so this fix should make it mucho better.

THis is really intriguing. From your pic, I can't tell if there is any metal around your lens. I've turned several lens cells on my lathe -- probably not that difficult to get an aluminum one made for your lens.
