How Telescopes Work - Telescope Making Made Easy

The first thing to keep in mind when making a telescope by hand, alone, to know exactly how it works. The basic objective of a telescope is an object that is at a distance and seems much closer to the bigger than it actually is, seeing his photo in the lens focal length. You can learn, you must know the type of do-it-yourself telescope construction through various mediums.

E 'possible to know telescopeThrough the construction sites located on the Internet. Telescope making is considered an art by various people. Not only completed telescopes that are well made. Amateur designs are often good enough for professional tools to run for their money. Many authors have written about telescope construction at home, and these works are also on display at local libraries.

Simple instructions that will build their own telescope will be described below.The main components are needed for construction:

1. Two lenses (reading glasses are sufficient, with a lens is slightly larger than the others)

2. A cardboard cylinder (for example, from a roll of wrapping paper)

3 Tape

4. Permanent markers

5. Scissors

6. A scale

7. Printed

Place the broader objective in print. Place the second lens between the eye level and the largest this lensthat the pressure on the paper clearly. This will happen only when the pressure is at the center of the lens. In such a situation, the distance between the two lenses must be measured.

One inch from one end of the cylinder, mark the point and cut a slit in the tube. This slot will keep the larger goal. The distance measured previously as a reference, a second slot must be adopted and are cut into the tube to hold the second lens.

Place the two lenses in the slots, so thatThe larger goal is the front-end and the smaller one is sticking in the back. lenses in place with adhesive tape. The part of the tube behind the small lens can be cut so that it is easier to look through the lens. The pressure on the paper through the eyepiece, ie the smaller the lens now. Set the distance between the glass when the pressure is to focus not exactly.

This is the easiest way to create a refractor onlyhome. Several online sites you can before using these procedures. If you are not first carefully studied the task of making the whole process a very difficult task. The most important thing is the principle of individual components of the telescope you know, especially the slow movement. If you make a different type of telescope you are using mirrors instead of lenses. If this information is known, is building his own telescopewill be a breeze.
