Free plans for a plywood structure telescope are avaliable from many sources. They seem to work fine. Optics can also be homemade or bought. Look it up. RF Royce Optical, this guy makes amazing primary mirrors and has designs for equatorial mount optical tube assemblys.
Love the fact that you are doing a great benefit to humanity. Thank you for that. But if you dont mind, can you please upload the images you are taking with your telescope? I and the rest of the people watching this TH-cam would really appreciate it
Fantastic project your, I would like to know if you can still download it. I'm just getting closer to 3D printing, and that would be an incredible stimulus to learn.
The main objective of any project is to get an end result. 99.99 % of the You tube videos do one thing. Just unpack packed things and assemble it. Assembling anything can be an easy because it is in the manual, I do not know why people or so interested in Assembling things and with brain crushing useless background music. We need result. We need images taken using the telescope. People are bla bla bla bla bla. We need result. Take the case of Music system unboxing. What is the use of seeing a man unboxing these things without hearing the music. These types of videos are 1000000% useless to ordinary people
So far it sounds good that they came up with a way for others to build it. But I also see a ton of scattered light with this model. Not to mention he's using a freaking headlamp. I'd like to have seen some images too. It does us no good just seeing the model, let's see it in action. Also how large is the primary? Focal length? Arrgghhh what started off so good was just a frustrating few minutes.
Yeah I'm skeptical... they didn't show any images of what telescope can take or how to build it. They didn't even give a link on where the instructions are... This video was very artsy and moving but I want practicality, not artsy.
You do realize the more the masses come to any form of ability to gain mass logic free from a controlled setting the more likely unforseen yet powerful force(s) will undo all parameters surrounding such knowledge. Knowledge prevents "magic". "magic" is what fuels many unbecoming atrocities.
Didn't show what it's capable of. At the time they were filming this, there were 3 planets visible (Venus, Jupiter and Saturn). You can print out a body of a telescope, but you need to buy the mirror for it. Plus electronics and gadgets to control it with. For 200 pounds you can buy a fully functional reflector telescope, but bigger and fully functional. The idea of 3D printing it nice though, I saw what he wanted to say.
I was unaware that you can 3D print optical quality mirrors. First it was refilling water bottles... Now it's user generated iPhone astrophotography with absolutely zero pictures because it doesn't work.
"The whole thing can be built for about 200 pounds." You forgot to add in the cost of the 3D printer. On another note, I would love one of those "Occupy Mars" t-shirts.
You should look for locations where they might hold Hackathons. Most of these locations in South Africa have 3D printers free for use in their facilities.
There aren't even images on the Open Space Agency's website, or as far as I've been able to find, anywhere online. Does any one have a link to any imagery from the Ultrascope?
Hi great but I try to print this scope and no files to download are available can you point to a good download site, maybe you can upload with the other stls on Github. Thanks.
Is this scalable, say to a 12" or greater mirror? Can you adapt a more robust camera? Is it possible to multiplex telecams from all of the world simultaneously?
Hi folks, I am trying to download project files from your site, most links are broken. And no one answers my calls for help. I really like your project and would like to adopt it with our students. Please revive the project. At least make the drawings and electronic projects available again. Thanks.
Bollocks £200. The mirror alone is 220! plus the cost of the 3D printer, the computer, the phone/tablet, the printer filaments, the fixtures, fittings and other hardware, not to mention the time and all the extra tools needed!
I find it funny how he talks about it being open for citizens and everybody to use, but the app for it is only available to the five people who use windows phone.
as www.iflscience.com/technology/you-can-now-build-your-very-own-powerful-telescope-home "The OSA will unveil a prototype model at the San Diego Maker Faire in California this October. A larger, more powerful model will later be released and available for download, which will be able to view near-Earth objects."
Hmmm...colour me sceptic, but this looks like another "3D printing is fashionable and can save the world" article. I'd love to see how they print the mirror! Plus it looks like the mirror diameter is about 80-100mm, which hardly qualifies as "powerful". Looking at their website the talk about "laser cut acrylic"...not exactly what most people "can build at home". I smell clickbait.
A telescope is a simple device that doesn't require electricity, nowadays you're supposed to think you need a 3d printer, a red dot finder that takes lithium batteries, and a lot of camera equipment if you want to look at the stars. Nonsense! This unnecessarily robotic scope is only cheap if you've got a 3d printer. Check out all the Indian youtubers showing you how to make really good scopes out of junk, much more inspirational than this thing!
No shots at all from this telescope in a video about it? This is either very poor editing, or the telescope produced results too poor to use in the video.
He sad 200 pounds.. You were so close. And that was 3 years ago. It is probably less expensive now, and hey... you can actually NOT have to use a 3d printer. You just need to use your brain.
So... this film doesn't show you what the telescope can actually see? It's just the guy saying how much he'd like for his 'agency' to be important? How the heck could you 3D print a polished mirror, by the way? I call bullshit on all this.
I bet they didnt even got it to work properly yet, the idea is good, but this video is silly and made to over-hype something that's just not feseable yet. Plus 200 pounds, which is quite a bit of money for the average person, is just the cost to build the parts, not counting on the 3D printer. this video is a waste of time.
Humm, almost 2 years gone by now and still only crappy window$ phone app, (according to their web page), and you have to give them your info to see these so called "open source" plans. Parts are probably done in Solid Works as well, meaning you have to buy a $5000 CAD program to use the "open source" files, (seen it way to many times before with crap like this)..... pffffft... It's these so called projects that give open source a bad name. If it were really "open source", the files would be on github, in IGES/STEP/STL format and include the source code for the app and Arduino. Oh, and a 3.5" Newtonian = "powerful"? And where the hell does one find a 3.5" (89 mm) primary mirror? Have the glass custom cut and grind it your self? Oh, I know, you 3D print the mirror too, right?
"We were interested in making a telescope that anyone could... build themselves. So, obviously we wanted to make it 3-D printable." Because everyone has access to a 3-D printer. "The whole thing can be built for about 200 pounds." Plus another 200 pounds for the printer, not to mention the cost of a smart phone. I think you need to rethink some of your first-world, middle-class assumptions.

Am I the only one thoroughly frustrated by the fact that not a single image was shown from the telescope?!
You are not alone. Waste of 5 minutes.
You are not the only one, but i am more of a methodist thinker.
Jose Depacos This. Shitty fucking journalism.
Just look in the description
+Doug Eldridge absolutely.
A telescope anyone can build ---- anyone with a 3D printer.
find a local makerspace with a 3 d printer
My local library, less than 3 miles away has one that can be leased.
i know it stinks
ender 3 is top notch and costs 180€ . ~$200

what about some images ?
Right?! I watched the whole thing and nothing... disappointing.
***** Precisely. I scrolled back and forth several times to see if I missed something.
***** I'm so glad I skipped thru this boring vid only to find you at the top of the comments list. This was a good day.
sample image in the description
Hhhhhh s'some ....!
Would have been nice to see some images taken from the thing. Disappointing.
im 4 years late but look in the description
@@thomasmcmullen9334 Thank you.
@@thomasmcmullen9334 That's a crummy image.
Love the fact that you are doing a great benefit to humanity. Thank you for that. But if you dont mind, can you please upload the images you are taking with your telescope? I and the rest of the people watching this TH-cam would really appreciate it
The site is broken bad gateways all over for weeks now.
The donation links and contribution reminder pop up's are working a treat though.
I'd love to see some of this pictures taken by this?
I cannot get the plans for this. The links on your page seem to be broken. Would love to be a beta tester.
502 bad gateway... Please dont let this project die

agreed!
v1.wevolver.com/osa.projects/ultrascope/main/description One only has to follow the links in the description.
Read the description guys :) It says it right there
Who knows how powerful it is - WITHOUT IMAGES!!
My guitar teacher had a 36" mirror made. Now theres 3 in the world.
The structure is designed to be used at a 45 degree latitude. How do I use the telescope at a different latitude?

I was unaware that you can 3D print optical quality mirrors.

Isn't the most work intensive part making the mirror? Any mention about that?
His childlike energy is totally diminished by the fact that not a single image was shown.

It’s a 5 inch dob with a smart phone connected? U can by a 5 inch dob secondhand for £50

Hi great but I try to print this scope and no files to download are available can you point to a good download site, maybe you can upload with the other stls on Github. Thanks.
Great 👍
Next question: how to build 3d printer at home
How about some instructions on how to do it? List of materials? Anything?
Exactly this video is ridiculously dumb
lets be honest.. you can't build it at home without a 3D printer and some machinery at hand.. the video didn't even show us it working ffs -_-
Yes you can. Well.. maybe not you...
i came for a tutorial not a mini documentary
Is this scalable, say to a 12" or greater mirror? Can you adapt a more robust camera? Is it possible to multiplex telecams from all of the world simultaneously?
HATE misleading titles and videos like THIS ONE
Hi, I tried to get files of telescope in website but I couldn't can u help me in getting the files to make a replica
Hi folks, I am trying to download project files from your site, most links are broken. And no one answers my calls for help. I really like your project and would like to adopt it with our students. Please revive the project. At least make the drawings and electronic projects available again. Thanks.
Sir, would you like to sell this telescope. I want to buy for my kids sir. Hope you will see and reply my comment. Thanks and regards
I would pay for parts to build one of these telescopes. Please make a video with photos.
Bollocks £200. The mirror alone is 220! plus the cost of the 3D printer, the computer, the phone/tablet, the printer filaments, the fixtures, fittings and other hardware, not to mention the time and all the extra tools needed!
So how can we build it ?
Paul Dragomir it probably comes with instructions when you download the file
Sweggler And where are the files... they could have put a link in the description at the very least...
I don't know, have a look on their website, the link to that is in the description
Paul Dragomir www.openspaceagency.com/ultrascope/ It's only in a testing faze at the moment.
This is so amazing, thank you for uploading this
Amazing project! Congratulations!
Aussie or Kiwi bro?
Well then..where your STL file for 3D printing.. Care to share?
i dont believe in anything digital, i wanna see a homemade telescope from pure cristal lenses
I find it funny how he talks about it being open for citizens and everybody to use, but the app for it is only available to the five people who use windows phone.
You owe me 4 and a half minutes of my life.
ok sad music at the end, but show some images for fudges sake!
so how do i build this? blueprint? image guidlines???
wish you all the best ..
Where do I download the parts from ?
Knowledgeable video 💖💖💖 thank you for sharing 🙏🎁🎁🎁🎉🎉🎉
A Telescope you can make at home if
You have a entire workshop and €5000 3D printer
as www.iflscience.com/technology/you-can-now-build-your-very-own-powerful-telescope-home
"The OSA will unveil a prototype model at the San Diego Maker Faire in California this October. A larger, more powerful model will later be released and available for download, which will be able to view near-Earth objects."
You guys should put on the video title: don't bother opening the video, You WONT be able to see the results
lmao u wont see 5much through that was it that bad that they didn't bother showing what it could capture?
where is the double thumbs up button?
where can I get one and how much is it going to cost
Y dont show us images of celestial bodies from that telescope
what is the name of bg music at 3.15?
Hmmm...colour me sceptic, but this looks like another "3D printing is fashionable and can save the world" article. I'd love to see how they print the mirror! Plus it looks like the mirror diameter is about 80-100mm, which hardly qualifies as "powerful". Looking at their website the talk about "laser cut acrylic"...not exactly what most people "can build at home". I smell clickbait.
for 200 quid I can buy one
200 pounds, 300 USD, buy a real one made by Celestron from Walmart
Ya can buy a 6 inch dob for 350-400 dollars lol
You did not show any pictures that it takes or how to build it myself very disappointing
A video about a scope and not showing at least one image from the scope?? Wth.
where are files to make it?
I WANT ONE BROSKI!
There are no sample images... Not so great!
How could I make one could you teach me please
A telescope is a simple device that doesn't require electricity, nowadays you're supposed to think you need a 3d printer, a red dot finder that takes lithium batteries, and a lot of camera equipment if you want to look at the stars.

Serious letdown. No images? Come on!
*if you have a 3D printer
but we can not see from it far away
No shots at all from this telescope in a video about it?
This is either very poor editing, or the telescope produced results too poor to use in the video.
Occupy Moon makes more sense. Just saying. This video, also, is rather lacking in sense. Consistency is king, I guess.
this video is misquoted I thought they would show how to make one
*ALL THAT AND NO IMAGES PROVIDED FROM THE UNIT.*
Классно снято...
Nice
when there is no results in the video it means it doesnt work and its fake
I was happy until he sad 2000 pounds
He sad 200 pounds.. You were so close. And that was 3 years ago. It is probably less expensive now, and hey... you can actually NOT have to use a 3d printer. You just need to use your brain.
200 pounds = rougly 270 dollars... i can get a telescope for 200 dollars that'll do the same
So... this film doesn't show you what the telescope can actually see? It's just the guy saying how much he'd like for his 'agency' to be important?
How the heck could you 3D print a polished mirror, by the way?
I call bullshit on all this.
No longer available
That's amazing
so you dont work with nasa? so tell me is the earth flat or round?
...200 pounds... = ... ~$350 ...........
He's just selling his ideas...
thanks for nothing
Total disappointment...no images!!?
Cost of it, 😅😅
I bet they didnt even got it to work properly yet, the idea is good, but this video is silly and made to over-hype something that's just not feseable yet.
Plus 200 pounds, which is quite a bit of money for the average person, is just the cost to build the parts, not counting on the 3D printer. this video is a waste of time.
And I have a 3D printer so could you please show me
What about the telescope? This was just about the project. Lame...
