Celestrone 114 eq astromaster modification


Recommended Posts

Dear ALL

I have attached a video pertaining to modifications done by me... i have no basics of telescopes to be very frank, to my luck i got two back lenses of Reel Projectors one is  f= 76mm and other one is f=95mm .  i have opened these lens assembly which comprises of some 6 lenses of convex and concave ... what i did is removed all concave lenses and assembled . used one of the convex lens as the barlow one as the original barlow removed from the telescope.. which is a celestron astromaster 114 eq.  now instead of barlow inside the focuser i have a convex lens. i also added a 2x Barlow at the top of the focusser ,  and with the kowa super prominar lens assy with a tubing of 1 feet long as shown in the video .... as the distance increases the image size increases also light is much better now... l , this is was just a trial and error method .. but happy to say i have a phenomenal improvement with this birds jones telescope and impressive maginification and good light .comparison with a 4mm eyepeice which has no light at all .. this one giving images much bigger and a better light ....the video is attached on the construction .. i will try to capture some images once the rain is over .
