Oh that is so cool! How well does it maintain collimation?
2ReplyReally 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?
1ReplyNot 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?
0ReplyYeah 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.
1ReplyI managed to get Jupiter sighted in. It's incredible with this scope you can see some of its moons
