Hi
Looks real neat. Does it really matter if it does not work as good as top grade refractor. The experience gained will be worth more than the price of the best and the satisfaction of rolling your own is great. In any case it will probably produce excellent results.
I made my first refractor when I was at school. An old spectacle lens with a FL of about 40 cms, a couple of carboard tubes and the viewfinder lenses out of a box brownie. It showed Jupiters moons and craters on the moon. It probably would have just shown saturns ears if I had been able to point it at Saturn.
