At the other end of the bracket, place another 1/4 x 1' screw and secure it with 3 1/4 nuts and 2 1/4 flat washers. Once it is done, take the angle bracket and place it on the left end of the screw with a 1/4 flat washer and 2 1/4 nuts. The tripod is almost ready, but we have to do the telescope support, so first make a hole in the center of the PET bottle cap, then place a 1/4 x 1' screw on a 1/4 flat washer from the inside out the bottle cap and secure with a 1/4 flat washer and a 1/4 nut on the outside of the cover. Now, with the nylon clamps, attach each 1/2' weldable PVC pipe to each petal of the bottle. After that make three markings with equal distances on this piece of PET bottle that we cut, and cut it again making a kind of petals as shown in the images below. To make the legs of the tripod we have to first mark ten centimeters from the lid of a PET Bottle and then cut that part. The telescope is almost ready, but we have to make a tripod to stabilize the telescope and assist in the observation of the sky.įirst of all, to make the telescope cradle you will need to take the 20 cm PVC pipe and make a longitudinal cut, then paint it with matte spray paint like the image below.Īfter that, scrape the middle part on the opposite side of the longitudinal cut, and use super bond instant glue and Durepoxi to glue a nut in it. So now that you know a little bit of the telescopes let's make our telescope!!!

In this project, we will learn how to make a refractor telescope. In refractory telescopes, an image does not appear upside down as in Reflectors but appears only inverted.Ī telescope reflector is an instrument that uses a large mirror at the bottom of the telescope to focus light rays and a small mirror near the opening, which will reflect light into an eyepiece, located at the top of the telescope. It is the same system used in binoculars and almost all as terrestrial telescopes. The Refractor Telescope is an instrument that uses lenses (objectives) and not a mirror and is attached to the front of the telescope to focus the light rays, in an eyepiece at the bottom of the telescope. One of the most important things that we have to know before we make our telescopes is to know how the telescopes work right?! So, a telescope is a tool that astronomers use to see far away objects, the two basic types of telescopes are the refractors and the reflectors. Refractor telescopes are excellent for Lunar and Planetary.

The observation of the sky is magnificent, I always observed the skies with the naked eye and never had an optical instrument like a telescope to appreciate the universe more intensely, it was then that the desire to create my telescope ignited in me, and I couldn't help but share with you how I made my telescope. All Sky-Watcher refractors come with muliti-coated objective lens for maximum light transmillion. For a long time, I have been arousing interest in astronomy, I am fascinated sometimes looking at the skies and thinking of the stars and planets that are so far away from us.
