Actually Paul it was quite simple to make. I made it out of a steel pipe. Aluminium pipe was my first choice but cutting the aluminium to that shape with the plasma cutter was a bit of a hassle and the steel when taped holds the screws better than the aluminium would. Anyway the steel pipe weighs less than the laser and for my scope a bit of weight is no problem. The screws are stainless and I used a screw to turn the laser on and off.
I found the need for a laser when I take the telescope out to public nights and people ask where in the sky is the object that they looking at? So now all I have to do is turn the laser on.
