I am building a 90mm rich field scope to eventually use as a finder for my 20" (when I get enough saved up). I was wondering where to buy Aluminum tubing on the net that won't cost me an arm and a leg.
Also, I have read about the great light absorbing charicteristics of flocked paper and I wanted to line the tube with it (much less skill required than to make baffels). Where might I find some (again, preferably on the net).

"Though parted by a gulf more impassable than any sea, the telescope lets us traverse what otherwise had been barred and lands us at last above the shores we went forth to seek. Real the journey is, though incorporeal in kind. Since the seeing strange sights is the essence of all far wanderings, it is as truly tavel so the eye arrive as if the body kept it company." Pervcival Lowell
