wala man dimensions.

walay dimension kay murag mag-depende ni sa imong mirrors....

Those are basically just two Dobsonians with 90 deg elbows at the end.

oki salamat kaayo rodsky.....pwede ni mabuhat diri?

Yep. Just build two identical Dobs, then i-flip ra ang isa, then ang duha ka focuser kay butangan dayon ug 90 degree deflectors. Ang challenging niani (aside from building the Dobs themselves), is the collimation, or superimposition of the two images onto both eyes. Meaning, ang whole setup has to be designed so naay built-in nga pamaagi to adjust one of the dobs to allow proper collimation.

murag lisod diay ni himo-on diri sa ato-a kay lisod ang pagpangita sa materials......

[tarantado07]

murag lisud jud da.. nindot unta baya mag tan-aw2x sa langit kay wlai dag-um.

[prodigal_son321]

lisod gyud ni... wala kaayo mga materials diri... kung naa man gani.. mahal kaayo..

I already have a 3D mesh of a project similar to this, in 3D Studio MAX. Will share it soon. It doesn't have to be expensive. Most of the materials (except for the mirrors and eyepieces, which can be bought off eBay) can be bought from Ace Hardware and/or Handyman.

that's cool sir rodsky.

as far as i know, 3ds max doesn't have dimensioning tools so i think putting it on sketchup would help you put dimensions easier on the orthographic drawings. hehe

is your design similar to the TS's article?

Will try to port it to Sketchup if I can. Nope my design is my own, but similar to the article.

@ rodky: e share nya bro.

[jfox]

murag hayag na ni kung naa nah ang sketch ni rodsky......we can soon build our own telescope...PEACE!
