As a class project, every student should be able to find some aspect that he or she can contibute towards the completion of the telescope. Additionally, we cannot provide kits for whole classrooms, so we ask teachers to purchase one kit and make it a class project. For this reason, we ask that your purchase of the kit be a serious consideration. And, it is very time consuming for us to create all the pieces provided in each kit. $20 for the kit plus $7.20 for USPS Priority shipping, totalling $27.20.Īlthough this kit sells for just $20, the cost of this kit is well below our actual cost.

#PARTS OF A TELESCOPE THREE PART CARDS MANUAL#
Review this page, the manual and the videos on YouTube, to see if this is the type of project that interests you. We hope to incourage individuals to learn and enjoy telescope making and observational astronomy. Additionally, the manual contains a plethora of celestial objects that can be observed with the telescope. The intent of this kit and instructions is to provide a means to build and learn the fundamentals of telescope making-to go through the whole process from start to finish. But, the materials for the tube and tripod are to be purchased and constructed by the telescope maker. A few of the basic telescope components are also included, like the cells for the objective lens and eyepieces. The kit includes the basic materials to grind and polish a 1.75 inch diameter refractor lens (with a clear aperture of 1.5 inches) along with two eyepieces that yield 30x and 60x. and Ken Graun have created a basic telescope kit for anyone wanting to try their hand at building a simple refractor telescope and explore the heavens. NOTE: Very limited quantities-PLEASE READ the statement below in ORANGE.Īlan Binder, Ph.D.
This is NOT a kit of parts that you assemble-you make everything from the telescope lenses to the tripod.
