    How to make your own lens scope converter for ~ $35

    <p>No problem, I've been wanting to make one of those for a while and I finally got discouraged by the very high price of the Nikon genuine one. It was a fun little project with my uncle who insisted on making the whole thing in his lathe of course... So the fit is super precise and I just used some Gorilla Glue to bound the tube and the cap together. I figured that if it breaks, I'll just use the really good stuff. So far it's solid, besides creating some white residue everywhere, the Gorilla Glue seems to be working great.<br>

    Did you ever get around to making the VR compatible version?<br>

    Sorry for the annoying links, I was trying to embed a picture of the set-up but it didn't turn out so well. The <a href="http://www.gd-photos.com/Events/Parties/Star-Party-Oak-Middle-School/19866876_kBP4pG#1562874884_TH8SRbh-A-LB">link</a> still works though: <a href="http://www.gd-photos.com/Events/Parties/Star-Party-Oak-Middle-School/19866876_kBP4pG#1562874884_TH8SRbh-A-LB"><img src="http://www.gd-photos.com/Events/Parties/Star-Party-Oak-Middle-School/i-TH8SRbh/0/L/Stars-Party-Oak-Middle-School-L.jpg" alt="" /></a><br>

    <p>The last post was a while ago but the tread is still useful today! Thanks for that.<br /> I built myself one of those last week and used it last night with an old 300mm f/2.8 AI-S lens for an astronomy night. I heard many "wows" when people looked through it. They even mentioned that they preferred the view from my set up then from the gigantic telescopes some people had around. <a href="http://www.gd-photos.com/Events/Parties/Star-Party-Oak-Middle-School/19866876_kBP4pG#1562874884_TH8SRbh-A-LB">Check it out</a>:<br>
