With our do-it-yourself observatory you will experience an easy, educational and fun introduction to astronomical sky observation. In addition to how it works, there is a world of hidden and fascinating details to discover. In addition to our telescopes, you will also find a simple mount and useful accessories. These include attachments for solar filters to observe sunspots or Bahtinov masks to make focusing easier. With the help of our software "ScopeControl" the hunt for sunspots or the lunar craters can start directly and the full potential of our telescope can be used.
Our do-it-yourself observatory
Mini telescope
A complete telescope for an achromatic lens with a diameter of 31mm (1.25 inch) and a focal length of 135mm, as can be found very inexpensively on the net. In conjunction with a simple C-mount camera, the observation of sunspots or the lunar craters is easily possible.
