This is exactly the same way as you make the eye piece in a refractory telescope. This is tube 1.

Cut along the entire length of one of the tubes.

How to build a reflector telescope. The tube itself the eyepiece the secondary mirror and the primary mirror. Part 2 on how to make the cabinet mount for the telescope is here a newtonian reflector is a simple design that is easy to make and it was invented by sir isaac newton. How to build the mount now it is time for us to build the actual mount of the telescope.

Get two wodden cutouts as given in pics then make 3 holes at 120 angle in both woddin discs as shown in the images then attach the two discs with machine scews and spring. And in this tutorial we make a generous 8 inch newtonian reflector. The 8 inch means that is the size of the mirror inside.

Then attach primary mirror on the top of small wooden disc with mirror clip you should use wing nut instead of normal nut. The potential advantages of using parabolic mirrors reduction of spherical aberration and no chromatic aberration led to many proposed designs and several attempts to build reflecting telescopes. This will give you.

Grip the tube tightly to make it smaller.
