It is possible to build a telescope from two cardboard tubes. To do this, you will need two cardboard tubes of the same diameter and length. The first tube will be the eyepiece tube and the second tube will be the main tube.

The first step is to cut a small hole in the end of the eyepiece tube. This hole should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the main tube. Then, cut a larger hole in the end of the main tube. This hole should be slightly larger than the diameter of the eyepiece tube.

Next, insert the eyepiece tube into the main tube. The small hole should fit snugly around the main tube. Then, secure the eyepiece tube in place with tape or glue.

Now it’s time to assemble the optics. To do this, you will need a lens, or a combination of lenses. If you are using a single lens, it should be placed near the small hole in the eyepiece tube. If you are using multiple lenses, they should be placed in the following order: The first lens should be placed near the small hole in the eyepiece tube, and the second lens should be placed near the large hole in the main tube.

Once the lenses are in place, secure them with tape or glue. Then, use a piece of cardboard to cover the large hole in the main tube. This will help to block out any light that could interfere with the telescope’s performance.

Finally, you will need to make a mount for the telescope. This can be done using a piece of wood, or any other material that is strong enough to support the weight of the telescope. The mount should be secured to the main tube with screws or bolts.

Now, your homemade telescope is ready to use! All you need to do is point it toward the night sky and start exploring.

This really Simple Telescope was designed by SASTA – the South African Agency for Science & Technology. The telescope’s tube consists of 3 cardboard tubes, each 30-cm long. There are two lenses – the BIG OBJECTIVE is Convex-concave and the SMALL EYEPIECE is Concave-concave. The three tubes of slightly different diameters fit into each other and can easily slide. Thus the length of the tube can be increased and decreased. The sliding of the…

Having received helpful feedback from forums and friends over the years, I felt it was time to give back to the online community to assist with making decisions when it comes to metal tubes. Furthermore, it is going to eliminate you from losing valuable time and cash - it’s the real reason I created this site - to help others make a promising choice.
