In summary, the conversation is discussing the use of a 6inch reflector telescope and the observation of distorted images when not using an eyepiece. The question is whether the telescope will still function without an eyepiece. The conversation also suggests using an eyepiece from another device and the need for collimation.

Able to industry 6inch reflector telescope,but I found that the image of the edges of the mini-optical example, if I looked at the moon I saw three Oqmra


This note I did not use the eyepiece



My question is: Will this form reflector when not using the eyepiece? Thank you very much

Hi Abd Errahmane! :smile:

(you mean "reply"! :wink:)

I think nobody's replying because we don't understand your original post …

what is "mini-optical example" and "Oqmra"?

and what exactly did you do (without the eyepiece)? :confused:

I think you really need an eye-piece to see anything
you can use a eyepiece from something else
like a broken binoc or microscope
also you need to line up the telescope
that is called collimination a quick google should bring a few guides
on how to do that
 

1. Can a reflector telescope function without an eyepiece?

No, a reflector telescope requires an eyepiece to magnify and focus the image collected by the primary mirror.

2. What is the purpose of an eyepiece in a reflector telescope?

The eyepiece acts as a magnifying lens in a reflector telescope, allowing you to see a larger and clearer image of the object being observed.

3. Can I use any eyepiece with a reflector telescope?

Yes, as long as the eyepiece is compatible with the telescope's focal length and diameter, you can use any eyepiece with a reflector telescope.

4. How do I choose the right eyepiece for my reflector telescope?

The right eyepiece for your reflector telescope depends on the object you want to observe and the level of magnification you desire. Generally, a lower magnification eyepiece is better for observing large objects, while a higher magnification eyepiece is better for observing smaller objects.

5. Can I use a camera instead of an eyepiece with a reflector telescope?

Yes, you can attach a camera to a reflector telescope to capture images of celestial objects. However, the camera must be equipped with a T-ring adapter and a camera-specific eyepiece projection adapter to connect to the telescope.
