  • geil ach du scheisse..das ist alles was mir grad einfällt.echt unglaublich DANKE SEHR FÜR DIESES SCHAUSPIEL!!!

  • You´re welcome.

  • how much was your telescope?

  • 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.

  • Hey!I need one of the those as a present to Earth.I'll travel to saturn and buy one.Going to be hard to put it on.XD

  • is des echt ? xD

  • 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?

  • can you see saturns rings at 155x?
