In this video I'll show you how to build the Hadley Newtonian Telescope. This is a fun open source project that you can build yourself. Powerful enough to see the rings of Saturn, Jupiter's moons, and craters on the moon. Aperture 114mm. Focal Length 900mm

    Hey, it's my project! neat feature.
  • @scottveron
    Thanks for this video dude!! Assembled mine following this (with a 3d printed stand though) the other day and saw Jupiter and its moons.
  • @rwdavidoff
    A really nice video of the Hadley assembly process. If you're going to be swapping eyepieces or adjusting focus much, you might want thumbscrews for the screws on the focuser so you can make them tight or loose without needing a screwdriver, but I'm linking this places as a great assembly guide reference!
  • @VladFilippov
    Hi there! Great video, where did you get the center spot aligner model at 19:30? I cannot find it anywhere :\
  • @agentjwa
    printing one right now, already got the glass just have to wait on the printer.
  • @josephshaff5194
    Shaff was here. Have a lookat my Mirror. EM Drafter/Designer goin' for 1st BS Physics. Now if you look up Popes Telescope Spray on Coating, I think some different shapes of Mirrors can be tested like a Hyperbola.
  • @wizardeddas
    I just heard about the Hadley from a coworker and am thinking about building it. Do you think with an adaptor, and something to compensate for the weight, a DSLR camera would work with it? I'm pretty new to astronomy
  • @crackedcd12
    This is going to be my first attempt at making a telescope. In theory could I also buy better mirrors to see further objects in the sky? Thanks so much! Making my list!
  • @crysaeon
    Do you have a link to the aspheric eyepiece set? I think yours links the mirrors again.
  • @GodStang03
    Thank you so much for this as I started the print this past weekend. Quick question is I still have to print the knobs and Spider. The issue is on the Creality when and how do you pause it to put the nuts in. Like at what point in the print?

    As the young whippersnappers would say: That's fire man!
  • @jacktopper3365
    How does the brake work with the vertical movement on the wooden mount?
