two inches diameter; q first rate comet eye
piece for this Is made by getting two plain
convex glasses Of three inches focus each,
and one and three eights Inch diameter, fixing
them together with the convex surfaces next
each other, about half an inch apart, leaving
as large an aperture Of glass as possible, Such
telescope as this will bear 3 magnnying
