Not from the Astroscan, but another Edmund 6" f/6(?). - Good call!
Top can, end rings, and finder are cut from some orange Celestron with a broken sled focuser (I bought the mirror, he sent the scope). Bearings are legs from an Ikea table.

Gave it to a teacher friend of mine. Had to ad braces connecting the ends of the bearings to where the trusses connect the upper can because the bearings were like giant kangaroo feet, bouncing the scope all around... - j
