£9 DIY Lightbox

[Chris-B]

Asda battery powered (3xAA) LED camping light - £5

Hobbycraft foam board - £4

Glue, tape, batteries - already in drawer

Really simple, knocked it up in an hour. Made sure the light was glued and taped down properly (important!!) 2x brightness levels.

Reinforced all edges and corners with duct tape. Cut so its a snug fit over the end of the tube to stay in place. Dont forget the pillowcase!

Tried it out tonight, got some very near perfect flats that stacked lovely without even messing about with the settings on the camera! Well worth a try if youre broke after spending too much on the telescope itself like me!
