I have no idea what I’m looking at
It’s a Hadley 114 telescope. https://www.printables.com/model/224383-astronomical-telescope-hadley-an-easy-assembly-hig
Looks like a telescope (or a massive microscope)
Oh that is so cool! How well does it maintain collimation?
Really well actually. I printed this last year and I haven’t had to fiddle with it since.
Was this difficult to set up? And how long?
Not to bad actually. There’s a pretty detailed guide https://www.printables.com/model/224383-astronomical-telescope-hadley-an-easy-assembly-hig
Hardest part was learning how to colminate the mirrors so everything is perfectly aligned. It took a few days of printing.
Isn’t it incredible. I made one earlier this year. Had a chance to try it out yet?
Yeah this is my print from last year. The funny thing was I never knew the moon just doesn’t come up at night for weeks straight until I built it. I had to wait a bit to catch it.
Can’t wait for Jupiter and Saturn to pop back up this year.
I managed to get Jupiter sighted in. It’s incredible with this scope you can see some of its moons
