BUILD A TINY SPACE TELESCOPE
We built our Tiny Space Telescope using parts from a Canon digital camera with CCD sensor elements and anti-motion correction mechanics. Convex lenses from small telescope oculars and reading glasses were recycled into the telescope. Next, the telescope was configured, for use as a telescope, by setting the lenses for the maximum focal length. A small tripod mount is attached for movement as alt-azimuth and adding mass hand grips and stability. Preconfiguring can also set the ISO to 28,000 for deep sky penetration.
