Testing using an LPI as a widefield camera

Well I have been mucking around again with the LPI aftter a big break of not using it and I had a thought of how to use it as a widefield camera only one thing stood in the way no lens for the LPI , well a little searchin in the shead and I fould my Photgraphic enlagers len in it box it is a F4.5 10 deg FOV 2" focal length.

I thought how am I going to mount it to the LPI and for testing purposes didn't feel like spending any money just in case it didn't work so out came the cardboard toilet roll and a bit of sticky tape here's the test rig images 1-3 and some test shots.

Now all I need is a cheap 1 1/4" rack and pinon focuser to mount the lens in.
