I was out last night at 2am with my 6" dobsonian at x120 and I could clearly see the rings. And atm its edge on to us so it was just a line through the planet. I was even able to see the rings at 48x :)
Whats the telescope you got though? because magnification means nothing on a small telescope. Whats the aperture of your scope?
I made it myself, just the plate glass, grit, some pieces of wood and aluminum tubing, so it was cheap, I can say about US$100 in materials but many hours of polishing and figuring. It was a 14" with the edge masked to a 13" due to a TDE.
DO u have a bluprint? Becuase this is real good! U should patent it and u can start a telescope buisness and u can make them all urself! Cause the quality on this looks real good! I would defitnatly want one of these And for $100 dollars? wtf? I paid $235 dollars for a 5.1 inch reflector!! DAmn!
Telescope mirror making is hard work, you´ll take about 20 hours just to get the glass polished, but then came the really hard work : parabolize the glass curve. It´s about just remove a couple of microns from the surface on the right areas according to the measurements - that´s when you´ll get troubles. If you are really interested, read about it. Good luck.
Dave, I built Mel´s system already for another scope, just to find that my notebook parallel port was loosing some pulses. I´m shure it wasn´t backlash.
qwerty take a look at Mel Bartels home brew dob driver system. If you built that telescope you can build this too. search google, 'computer operated telescope mel bartels'. Not sure if youtube allows posting links in comments.
I found that TMPGEnc DVD that has the "crop" function, but unfortunately the window can´t move along with the planet. I think really I need an equatorial platform...
yep same thing i saw on my telescope
