build a telescope

This goal has always seemed natural and logical for me to attempt. It combines a lot of things I love: astronomy, physics, optics and ‘Do It Yourself’ projects. I hope to live in a more remote location one day with little to no light pollution, so having a telescope there would be ideal. I’m also interested in learning a lot more about astronomy and telescopes, so it seems one of the best way to learn more is to build a telescope. This will be good practice and provide a lot more background knowledge for when I eventually purchase a larger more expensive telescope too.

would any one help me building a telescope???? plz send me any related stuff.

I just saw the moon last night through my NEW homemade 8-inch Dob… it REALLY DOES have craters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here it is. My paper Hubble Telescope looking at the immensity of the sky…

I loved doing this project, and this will be my inspiration to get a real one!

Well, a paper telescope that is ;)

I was asked to be a ‘beta tester’ for their paper model. So I’m up for the task.

I actually already completed it today, but I’ve still a few things to tweak. Here’s the before photo:

_{And check out my hibiscus drink to keep me refreshed while building the model!}

And here’s a little teaser of the completed model:

I read much about telescope making in the last few month. Now I decided for a 10 inch dobsonian telescope!

I have all of the parts to build this scope, and I have even had the parts cut out by a freind based on the 3D model. I am just waiting until I have the space to put it together.

I went ahead and put this on my list, but its definitely going to have to wait. At least until after I move. I do really want to do this though.

I forgot, every now and than i blog about my goal to build my own telescope in my astronomy blog: Das wahre Gesichtsfeld

No idea at the moment…
