A DIY Refractor Telescope is an incredible learning opportunity. It provides a glimpse into history and the Galileoscope is a replica of Galileo’s first telescope!
Do you have a science project that you need a project for? Well we have you covered! The Galileoscope telescope kit is a STEM project telescope.
The DIY refractor will teach you how to build a functioning telescope as well as how a telescope works. Learn basic optical concepts, including how lenses form images, and how magnification affects field of view.
This Galilean telescope has a 50mm aperture to allow the right amount of light needed to view the moon and several of Earth’s neighbors. You will be surprised and feel accomplished after building this DIY refractor telescope. It truly becomes a working telescope!
Features include:
The Galileoscope telescope kit includes all the parts and instructions needed for young explorers to build their own 50mm refractor.
Assembly is quick and requires no tools or adhesives.
Enjoy views of the lunar surface, Jupiter’s Galilean moons, Saturn’s rings, and bright star clusters.
Kit includes a 20x eyepiece and a custom accessory that can be assembled as a 2x Barlow lens for a power of 50x or a 17x Galilean eyepiece with a right-side-up field of view less than 1/2° wide so the user can experience the views Galileo had of the expansive night sky.
Time’s ticking to complete that science project, grab yours today!
