Polished refractor tube

So while everyone else in Perth is enjoying the fantastic night of seeing, after yesterday's deluge, I've instead been reworking my little Williams Optics SD66.
My original plan was to sand the tube back and get it powder coated white or something, but whilst sanding I rather liked the glossy metallic finish I was getting. So I figured why not polish it up? Besides I reckon it'll look great with the Moonlite I have coming for it :-D
Now I just need it to warm up so I can put a clear coat over the top.
Cheers!
Chris
