The support for the primary mirror is really good. Unfortunately, the secondary mirror support is a disaster! The image degradation will prevent quality views. If you are attaching the secondary mirror to a moveable support as it seems, the colimation would only be good for one focus position. The thickness of the support would likewise degrade the image horribly.

Hey, stunning job!
The link to the 3D model is not working for me, could you please send me a working link?

[@figgy240]

Wow! That’s incredible!

[@deehay6685]

Thanks!

[@Gunk8642]

Recycling parts is good but I really need to know, but did you get 8"mirror.

[@richlanders7448]

“Pretty amazing,” say Judy & Rich!

[@deehay6685]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

Whether 8in aperture can i focus on deep sky objects?

[@ShenasRI]

Excellent, but links to the stl files don't work :-(

[@proudtobealifeinsuranceage5215]

How much it is cheaper than buying an already complete unit?

[@user-fg2pt9bp4e]

Please send me the 3D printing file ( link) . thanks

[@user-bh9lp7ev6t]

What is the concave lens degrees for focusing from the long distance?

[@Okiem.dyslektyka]

Where do you buy mirror?

[@rossbriannestein5054]

Not sure if I fully understand the secondary mirror mounting. Most are stationary, but yours looks like it's actually attached to the focuser. Please explain.

[@deehay6685]

The secondary mirror is not connected directly to the focuser, the focuser is attached to the telescope via a 3d printed mount that extends further into the tube of the telescope, and functions a mount for the secondary mirror.

Kindly share the information of mirror used

[@jorge_781]

The obstruction 🤔

[@qwerty93k]

what about optics? what kind it is?

[@mohamedkerbouci5091]

The files are not on the website

[@3ggb0x]

Hello I know you probably won’t see this but the 3D printer files don’t show up and I really need it for a school project I am making a 8” telescope and having those files wold be very helpful thanks

[@josiahsmith5042]

I'm in the same boat, did you find a solution?

[@ironclad9710]

Does this work

[@scientistplayz.y.t2089]

which eyepice did you used?

[@rixille]

What is the focal ratio on yours? Around 4.5?

[@user-rv5ow4jb6g]

Wow

[@JediWebSurf]

How much does it cost you to complete this?

[@The-Berry]

But how can I get secondary mirror ?

[@negociosen]

aliexpress

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

"How to"? More like watch me do stuff and not explain it. The secondary mirror attached to the focuser? Yikes! No collimating? No splainin? No files? No responding to comments? Check out "How to narrate a video."

What a third class explanation 🙀
