6" Newtonian

Built by Asad Mehmood of Okara, Punjab, Pakistan

Asad ground his own 6" mirror, and then built this scope with a PVC pipe for a tube. He is persistent, his first mirror shattered when he dropped it, but he went back to grinding to make this scope.

More details used to be found at http://astronomerbilal.net/archives/how-i-built-my-telescope, but this site no longer exists.
