The Pocket Telescope A robust mini-telescope (galilean type) with a magnification of 3.5 and not much bigger than a lipstick. A neat little kit that includes the OptiMedia lenses 1 and 6. Size: 2 x 2 x 8.5 (-11) cm The Kepler Telescope This is a kit for an astronomical telescope according to Johannes Kepler. The surprisingly sharp and bright picture is upside down as usual with astronomical telescopes. The magnification factor is 10, ideal for moon craters and even the moons of Jupiter. The kit includes the OptiMedia lenses 3, 7, and 9. Size: 5 x 5 x 30 (-45) cm The Galileo Telescope Galileo is famous for being the first man to point a telescope at the night sky. With this simple kit you can build yourself a telescope like the one he used in the 17th century. Can you find the moons of Jupiter like he did? The kit is easy to assemble and includes the OptiMedia lenses 1 and 9. Size: 5 x 5 x 30 (-45) cm The Pirates Telescope Scary buccaneer design with glittering gold print. Very simple assembly for old salts and land lubbers alike. Two lenses for 6x magnification. Yarr! Size: 4.5 x 4.5 x 15.5 (-23) cm The Small Galileo Telescope Two lenses connected by a cardboard tube: its that simple to build a telescope! The prepunched kit contains an objective lens with 225 mm and an eyepiece lens with 35 mm focal length. This produces a magnification of 6.5. The assembly is simple and takes only 20 minutes. An ideal project for groups and school classes. The picture is upright, therefore the telescope can be used by day or for astronomical observations (e.g. moon craters). Length fully extended: 18 cm The Nelson Telescope Build yourself a proper sailors telescope of the type that Nelson would have used. The five-section draw tube and two lenses provide you with 6x magnification. It even comes with a lockable container to protect it when you are on shore leave. Includes the OptiMedia lenses 1a and 9. Size: 5.5 x 5.5 x 13.5 (-36) cm The Newton Telescope This is a kit for a fully functional Newton reflecting telescope with Dobsonian mounting. The main BAADER glass mirror with SiO2 coating has a diameter of 70 mm and a focus length of 450 mm. Two eyepieces provide magnification factors of 16 and 30, enough for moon craters and even the moons of Jupiter. Size: 45 x 16 x 28 cm The Historic Galileo This beautiful kit is based on the last remaining telescope that belonged to Galileo (the oldest telescope in the world): a leather-bound show piece with golden ornaments for Cosimo II de Medici, which now is

on show in Florence. With this historically accurate cardboard replica you can experience the great achievements of Galileo yourself. Although the performance of this historic telescope is not comparable to modern ones, it is fully functional and emphasises Galileos accomplishments. High quality cardboard kit with four colour and gold print, complete with glass lenses for 12x magnification and wall/desktop mount. Length of the telescope: 78 cm The Plumbers Telescope An astronomical refracting telescope with a magnification of 30 for the price of a CD! With a piece of waste pipe and fittings (not included) you can build yourself a sturdy astronomical telescope with a sharp colour corrected image and 30x magnification that can be mounted on an ordinary photographic tripod. It has an upside down picture like most astronomical telescopes. The kit contains a set of high quality achromatic glass lenses, a tripod adapter, cardboard fittings, instructions, and a shopping list for your local DIY store. Object lens: Achromat, 40 mm, f=450 mm Eyepiece: Plssl, 15 mm, f=15 mm Length of the telescope: 53 cm The Solar Filter A solar filter for the Newton Telescope. Use this filter to safely observe sun spots.
