Stargazing Can I Make My Own 8 Telescope with These Required Instruments?

AI Thread Summary
To make an 8" telescope, particularly a reflector, it's essential to gather the right instruments and materials. Resources such as the book "How to Make a Telescope" by Jean Texereau are highly recommended for guidance. Searching for amateur telescope making (ATM) online can provide additional valuable information and tutorials. Many users suggest starting with a clear plan and understanding the components needed for assembly. Overall, with the right resources and determination, building an 8" telescope is achievable.

Thread 'How feasible is home radio astronomy?'

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...

Thread 'Visible light Over Large Distances'

How does light maintain enough energy in the visible part of the spectrum for the naked eye to see in the night sky. Also, how did it start of in the visible frequency part of the spectrum. Was it, for example, photons being ejected at that frequency after high energy particle interaction. Or does the light become visible (spectrum) after hitting our atmosphere or space dust or something? EDIT: Actually I just thought. Maybe the EM starts off as very high energy (outside the visible...
