To assemble your telescope, do the following:
- Get the two magnifying glasses and a sheet of printed paper.
- Hold one magnifying glass (the bigger one) between you and the paper. The image of the print will look blurry.
- Place the second magnifying glass between your eye and the first magnifying glass.
- Move the second glass forward or backward until the print comes into sharp focus. You will notice that the print appears larger and upside down.
- Have a friend measure the distance between the two magnifying glasses and write the distance down.
- Cut a slot in the cardboard tube near the front opening about an inch (2.5 cm) away. Do not cut all the way through the tube. The slot should be able to hold the large magnifying glass.
- Cut a second slot in the tube the same distance from the first slot as your friend wrote down. This is where the second magnifying glass will go.
- Place the two magnifying glasses in their slots (big one at front, little one at back) and tape them in with the Duct Tape
- Leave about 0.5 - 1 inch (1 - 2 cm) of tube behind the small magnifying glass and cut off any excess tube remaining.
- Check to see that it works by looking at the printed page. You may have to play slightly to get the exact distances between the two glasses right so that the image comes to a focus
