Here it is..
Ingredients:
- plastic part from rubber eyecup (this attaches to Canon eyepiece),
- 30mm lens from old binos, eyepiece (~12mm FL) from another binos,
- tube from 3x barlow (I obtained it from Bintel for free, it used to be cheap chinese plastic barlow, but the tube is quite useful, I already used 1/14" eyepiece metallized tube for my own eyepiece, and I threw away the glass lens).
All the parts above are put together into a small telescope, ~8x30.
- mirror (yes, it is a proper one, "first surface") mounted in a cell I obtained from somewhere long time ago. Right angle prism would be also OK.
- plastic 1 1/4" tubing for electricals, from Bunnings, as adapter for eyecup and eyepiece.
This is what it will look like when properly put together...
The image in this viewer is mirrored, but this is not a problem.
To have a proper (not mirrored) image, roof prism or two mirrors should be used, but this just adds to overall weight, which is now not the problem I believe, since all is plastic (except opticals).
The small cheap finder and mirror could have been used here, but I did not have it at hand....
Will test this tonight or over weekend and will report the results....
