The wonders of the Aerial telescopes

Imagine
    For many years I have observed with singlets and this is my fully embrace passion a completely new approach of astronomy different from today comfortable standards. The 5.5m long telescope is now finished and the wooden elements are painted and refurbished and all goes well. Bigger wonder's are yet to come but for now the 5.5m scope delivers amazing views even without a need for a eyepiece and with eyepiece has well. The rhombus mechanism is perfect and easy to work with now using a new approach its much easy to align stars at low magnification and to track them also the moon is the most amazing object to view with a singlet, but i am not forgetting the planets has well there are fantastic. The principle its simple the back end of the scope controls the front part by the use of a long stick made just for this purpose to control the objective mounting setup in front. At first it’s a little tricky but in time I get so much easy to work with and the advantage of this design i...

Building a giant aerial telescope and first observations

-
Imagine
      A great amazing thing happened at the Singlet Man’s observatory the arrival of a large objective lens of 94mm in diameter plano convex lens made by Roger C. an optican and amateur astronomer from ATS. For this I thank him very much. Its is nice lens of very good quality crown glass 5mm thickness and with a full 94mm diameter with a useful aperture of 80 and 76mm in diameter. Days prior of the arrival of the objective lens i have made the objective cell housing for the 94mm lens manly from cardboard typical of 17th century stile instruments but very nicely crafterd. Its similar to the objective lens cell for an aerial telescope made by Giuseppe Campani in Kassel at the Orangerie museum Kabinet of Astronomy. The outside decorations are from the same objective lens cell printed on cardboard. My cell has two diaphragms of 80mm and 76mm diameter all from cardboard and its fits perfectly.  In a total of 5 days the cell was made, it took a long time for the glue to dr...

Giuseppe Campani telescope and lens maker

-
Imagine
       The respected permanent place in the history of astronomy achieved by Giuseppe Campani unquestionably owed much to the numerous celestial discoveries made by others with his lenses and telescopes, especially by Jean Domenico Cassini, and due to a degree to the astronomer’s confirmation of the instrument maker’s observations and his repeated acknowledgment of the superior quality of Campani’s instruments. It was a situation of mutual gain, for it was largely the superior excellence of Campani’s lenses that contributed to Cassini successful astronomical discoveries, and it was because Cassini was able to do so that Campani’s career became firmly established.     Having heard mention in 1661 or 1662 of a new telescope said to have excelled all others, Cassini undoubtedly was among those who sought to meet the newcomer so he could test one of his instruments. At the same time that Cassini was impatient to identify and meet the telescope maker, Giuse...
