*My original design used a 6' mirror, which does fit on a 300x200x300 printer. However I have left in my work with rDUINO Scope as I still think it is a great system and I am sure other, more competent people than I, will have better luck. I did run into problems getting it to work correctly with my setup and unfortunately had to move onto an alternative, OnStep. I originally chose rDUINO Scope for the guiding electronics and GOTO functions. More recently on the Arduino Blog is a GoTo Mount for a DSLR. If you have a telescope but simply want to have a go at low cost Astrophotography I wrote another instrcutable using the Raspberry Pi Zero & Raspberry Pi Camera. This is a larger scope and has tracking capabilities but still lacks any GOTO functions. TelescopePrime is another scope similar to Pikon.Ī step on from the PiKon & Telescope Prime is the Ultrascope from the Open Space Agency. While it is much simpler to make and does not have any GOTO features the basic functions are very much the same. If you would like to make and print your own telescope have a look at the PiKon Telescope. There's nothing like jumping in at the deep-end! I know nothing about Astronomy and even less about Astrophotography.

Sub-Assemblies are available to download separately and are linked throughout the Instructable. The entire Telescope has been designed in Fusion 360 and can be downloaded from here |.

Carbon Fibre Printed Parts (PLA will work just fine though).

Extrusion Based Structural Components.99:1 Stepper Motor with 5:1 Final-Drive Printed Gears.STM32 Microcontroller with ESP8226 Smart Hand Controller.Design in GOTO functions and ensure it is simple to build. Make the design adaptable to different diameter and focal length primary mirrors. Design a Telescope which can be printed using a machine with a build volume of 300 x 200 x 300 *.
