To create a telescope, we need:
- An empty plastic bottle;
- Gift wrap with cognac;
- scissors;
- Stationery knife;
- Cork from the bottle;
- Magnifier;
- Watchmaker lens;
- Insulation tape;
1. Connect the paper tube to the magnifying glass, for this we grind the tube cover to the size of the magnifying glass and insert it there, this will be the lens of our telescope.
2. We make an eyepiece from a plastic bottle, for this we cut its bottom.
3. Tape the neck of the bottle with an insulating tape.
4. We attach the watchmaker’s lens to the neck, make sure it fits tightly on the cover, if the lens hangs, you need to thicken the neck with an insulating tape.
5. Insert the bottle into the tube, it should clearly fit the size.
6. To fix the plastic bottle inside the gift tube, in the middle we tie it with insulating tape.
7. It is worth noting that such a self-made telescope will show the image upside down.
Well, that’s all, now you can easily spy on your neighbors or look at the stars, it is not recommended to look at the sun from such a telescope.
