Star gazing used to occupy almost all of my evening time during school days, as years progressed, i progressed to ornithology ;).I had even tried beuilding my own telescope, a la galileo , damn! the spectacle lens never really worked!! :( . Even thought about removing the Binacular lens, then decided against it as those were the only pair of good lens i had!
