Most of the materials you'll need can be found at office supply stores or hardware stores. However, lenses will likely be your most challenging item to purchase. They can be bought from a variety of sources.has a variety of high-quality sizes and focal lengths that can be matched to achieve your magnification goal. However, we went with athat ships, in part because they are relatively close to us . Their stock is less expensive, but also somewhat touch-and-go.
While it won't be able to pick out the Galilean moons, a telescope with a focus of 9x should be able to see features on, including shallows from the plains, valleys and mountains. Details of Jupiter, such as its famous Great Red Spot, will not be visible at 9x, and Saturn's rings should be visible as a disk, but not with great detail. However, for students who have not yet observed the heavens, a 9x Galilean telescope should make an exciting starter scope.
Drill small holes around the outside of the inner tube, where the lens will be. Place the flat end of the eyepiece lens against the removable cap. Slide the lens and cap into the outer tube. Add glue through the holes, and turn the lens to spread it around. Press the tube against the lens firmly until the glue is dry. Set aside.
Slide the inner tube into the outer tube. The telescope can be focused by sliding the cardboard tube as necessary. Once the correct focusing distance is found, the two ends can be permanently attached with glue or tape.The most important determination you will want to make is how great your magnification is. We opted for a magnification of 20x, which resulted in a longer telescope than we could find from an office supply store. As such, we decided to switch the bulk of the body to a PVC pipe.
The cardboard tube still fell short of the PVC diameter, so we added cardboard spacers along the side. Gluing the spacers in place allows the eyepiece to be adjusted as necessary.
