How To Build A Wooden Telescope Tube. Use newt for the web to find the distance between the optical axis of the focuser and the end of the tube.

A simple way to make a D series dovetail for your scope. Easy 2 piece construction and saves a bunch of money- after assembly simply drill for your tube rings and you have a neat as a pin dovetail for a few dollars. One variation that U use is to make one 4" piece for the top plate but buy 3" wide for the bottom plate thereby not havig to cut the 4" wide down to 3" makes it a bit easier still see my site at tpiastro.com

This is the first in a series of three videos in which I describe the process necessary to make a tube for the optyical assembly of an eight inch Newtonian Telescope mounted with a Sidewalk Telescope
Telescope Project: Building the Tube
Conclusion
Using a concrete forming tube from a local hardware supplier we are building the tube for our telescope project. We painted the inside and then the outside. Building a spider vane for the secondary mirror we mounted all the hardware and finish it off.. How To Build A Wooden Telescope Tube.
