AI Thread Summary
A 6-inch reflector telescope can produce images without an eyepiece, but clarity and focus may be compromised. Users noted confusion regarding terms like "mini-optical example" and "Oqmra," suggesting a lack of clarity in the original post. It is generally recommended to use an eyepiece for optimal viewing, and alternatives like eyepieces from broken binoculars or microscopes can work. Proper alignment, known as collimation, is essential for achieving clear images. Overall, using an eyepiece is crucial for effective observation through a reflector telescope.

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

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...
