is there anyone know how to make a parabolic mirror at home?
There are all kinds of resources for ATMs (amateur telescope makers), and you can locate lots of them by Googling.josue2503 said:is there anyone know how to make a parabolic mirror at home?
The objective mirror is the primary optical component in a telescope, responsible for collecting and focusing light from distant objects. It is essential for producing clear and detailed images of celestial bodies.
Objective mirrors use the principles of reflection and refraction to gather light and direct it towards a focal point. The shape and curvature of the mirror determine how the light is focused and magnified.
In modern telescopes, objective mirrors are typically made of glass coated with a thin layer of aluminum or silver to enhance reflectivity. In some cases, more exotic materials such as beryllium or silicon carbide may be used for their unique optical properties.
Objective mirrors are responsible for collecting and focusing the light, while eyepiece lenses are used to magnify and further refine the image. The two work together to produce a clear and detailed view of the object being observed.
Yes, objective mirrors can be replaced or upgraded in some cases. However, this process can be complicated and expensive, so it is typically only done for large and valuable telescopes. In most cases, routine maintenance and cleaning can keep objective mirrors in good working condition.
