This is a simple solar finder to point the telescope safely to de Sun (THE TELESCOPE SHOULD HAVE THE APPROPRIATE FILTER!!!!). It comes with two kinds of sockets to attach it to different telescopes. This simple version can not be aligned, but it should be precise enough for short focal lengths.
A piece of translucent plastic is needed to fit in the rear part. In my case obtained from the orange cover of a notebook (a paper one :-)).
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
