Thank you Joshua very much for building a telescope for my singlet lens. I'm having a lot of fun with it.

The lens has a diameter of approximately 38mm, and the tube is split into two parts due to the focal length being around 1800mm. The focuser is a 1.5" FT. With a 25mm plossl eyepiece, the lens provides a magnification of about 70x, which works splendidly for observing the Moon. I was amased by the level of detail this small singlet lens revealed, offering a feast for the eyes. It also made it effortless to split the Alpha Centauri and Acrux, so I plan to observe some more challenging double stars during my next session.
