    Thank you so much. I needed to make a telescope for a school project and this video was super easy to follow and make my own.

    Thank you so much, I've been planning to make my own telescope and was thinking about making it with a pipe or a cardboard box. This makes it so clear and easier for me to understand, Thank you.

    what should be the focal length of the lenses to view things at a distance of 400 meters?

    • @Thomas-hj7uc
      @Thomas-hj7uc ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Idk but If you want to view something far away then you should use a longer tube or the distance between both lenses (the objective, and the eyepiece) should be far from each other. This allows you to zoom in more probably 400 meters.
      But if you want to see a wider field of view make the lenses closer.
      But I think this only works on both convex lenses.

      ​@Thomas-hj7uc hi there! We got a double convex lense and a double concave lense and it's not working. Maybe like you say, they need to be far apart from each other? We are trying to get this done for my daughter's project. This Friday lol. We had an issue with shipping and now we are scrambling

    Are there small lenses like those with different degree of convexity and concavity as to make the telescope more powerful? Thanks.

      @Science.Buddies  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, if you search online you should be able to find a variety of different lenses that you could experiment with.

      As far as we know this should not be possible if you are using one double convex and one double concave lens. If you ordered the lenses online, maybe there is a chance you received the wrong part?

    Is there a way to make a DIY telescope without these lenses? (Like things I usually have at home). I don't want to have to buy these lenses.

    • @Science.Buddies

      It would be difficult to substitute materials you have at home for these lenses. If you search our site, we have many other projects you can do with materials you already have around the house.

    This is a great th-cam.com/users/postUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE monocular. It adjusts easily and works well in most conditions. I attached a pic of the view through my phone (iPhone 13 max pro). With some more adjustments it would probably be fine. I would just use this by holding up to my eye and forget trying to capture pics through my phone. It comes with an attachment piece to your phone, a tripod, a lanyard, cleaning cloth and a holster that can be worn on your belt. Overall the image quality is good.
