Reflector Telescope
Attach the clips to the mirror and tighten the screws evenly. End not over-tighten to prevent the mirror from breaking.4. Slide the mirror and cell mount into the lower heel of the telescope tube and screw the cell into community.
Site the telescope tube at the backside of the tube where the cell Testament attach. Most cells own four metal mounting stubs with screw holes. Site the four screw locations exactly so that the cell rests perpendicularly to the telescope tube and the cell's backside is flush with the backside of the tube.
2. Drill holes for the screws, Everyone at exactly the equivalent distance from the lower string of the tube. Whether you aren't undeniable of your capacity to receive the screw holes exactly positioned, reduce a 1-inch slot for the screw running lengthwise to the tube on either side of the purpose you prepared for the cell mounting screws.
3. Establish the mirror into the mounting saddle on the cell.The course of attaching a telescope mirror is one of the most chief and tricky tasks you chalk up to achieve when building a Newtonian reflector telescope. The easiest action to attach a mirror is to pay for a commercial mounting cell for the mirror magnitude you've chosen for your telescope. When properly attached to the telescope, the mounting cell allows you to collimate the mirror. Collimation is the critical action of "aiming" the meaningful mirror at the secondary mirror.
Instructions
1.Square it to the tube and tighten the mounting screws.
5. Collimate the mirror provided you've already installed the secondary mirror, spider and focuser. Otherwise, install these parts before collimating. Turn the adjustment screws on the base of the cell one at a time to change the angle of the mirror so that the reflected image from the open end of the tube strikes the center of the secondary mirror. Remove the eyepiece from the focuser tube and look straight down at the secondary mirror. The mirror is correctly adjusted when the secondary mirror appears to be centered in the open end of the tube.
