    My teacher in the mid to late 60's, made his own telescopes.

    He made a 4in reflector and brought it into Upper Beeding primary school.

    We had a large playing field back then and Upper Beeding had very little lighting.

    So I remember a good view of Saturn's rings.

    It took him months to polish the lens like you see here, on a larger scale.
