The telescope proper is a Tasco 60mm refractor. The two "paddles" are
made of 1/8" (3mm) plywood, each attached to a collar made from aluminum bar.
The rod is a piece of 3/4" electrical conduit. The focusing tube passes
through the shading paddle. A piece of white card stock is held to the
projection paddle with clips.
