Homemade 8" Newtonian Telescope - Part 1

Walkthrough of my home built DIY 8" Newtonian Telescope. The version of the Newtonian telescope I am building is known as a Dobsonian telescope, which has to do with the altazimuth mount. "Part 1" featured here shows all the steps to build a mirror cell for mounting the primary mirror. My build is based off of instructions from stellafane.org. Detailed plans can be accessed at: stellafane.org...
The primary mirror is a D203F800 and was ordered from Ebay. All other materials were purchased at the local home improvement store.

Where i can find this mirror ?

[@wongelfski4681]

Good be sure to check astigmatism the glue can dry funny if sticks are slightly thinner than one another. Best to make shims from one cut of a stick. Also it looks like you did not space the mirror clip before siliconing. That also deforms the mirror. Easy fix tho

[@patclements3067]

I was wondering if you were going to do the whole project with that hand saw.

[@alihaydartunc7249]

If anyone is interested, I published a book called "Making Technique for Large Diameter Concave Mirror, Convex Mirror, and Thin-Sided Lens" on Rakuten Kobo E-Book platform. In the book, molding silicone, clear epoxy (or clear plastic resin), polyurethane, air pumping tool, air vacuum tool, wood chips, mirror spray, acetate paper, etc. I mentioned the methods that will allow you to produce meters of diameter using. In this way, you will have the knowledge and experience that you can carry out your projects for astronomy and solar energy in a practical way. Have a nice day.

Just curious....do you find any optical abberations due to the rudimentary glued mirror mount? Or is a mirror that small stiff enough not to deform?

Where to buy mirror

[@eflores9232]

Where did you get the mirror?

[@billkaroly]

I would love to know how it turned out. Did you use a parabolic mirror?

[@tapanbehera3224]

Where is Part - 2. Please upload it soon.

[@BennyKleykens]

Just finished building a mirror cell myself for same purpose. What glue did you use to glue this up? Securing the Primary Mirror with clips just doesn't feel the best for me either but I really want to use the right glue if I glue it up and don'h have much experience with these glues other than Bathroom silicones 😅 Thanks in advance!

[@BennyKleykens]

Never mind. Managed to pauze the video and read the tube info. Thanks for the video, made mine very similar to yours. Hope it's performing well!

[@pangapunga3693]

hello sir what is the adhesive you used and do it sticks really strong?

[@wongelfski4681]

Silicone

[@cheefechef7589]

flextape

Part 2... ???

Muy buen video, buena forma para asegurar el espejo, yo también quiero hacer un telescopio como ese con el mismo espejo y esto me sirve para saber como ensambarlo

[@rexninjaturtle]

Thank you! Refer to the link in the description for details on this plan.

Thank you for sharing. I had the chance to see a rocket launch in 2018. Incredible experience. I posted a pretty fun video of the trip to my channel.
