These kits of lenses are intended for those who are studying an astronomy course and who wish to make a small astronomical telescope as part of their practical coursework.
Also, these kits of lenses are suitable for those keen amateur astronomers who wish to build their own small telescope, perhaps as a finder telescope to mount on a larger instrument.
The kit consists of:
(Sometimes we may be able to offer different lenses, depending upon availability.)
This kit is intended for those people who are studying Astronomy as a GCSE course, in which they are required to build a small telescope as part of the coursework.
The kit is supplied with a four-page information leaflet about how to: find the focal length of a lens; use the lenses to make a telescope; find a telescope’s apparent field of view; find a telescope’s true field of view and find the telescope’s magnification.
Price: £23.00
The kit consists of:
This kit is especially useful for school or college use because the 40 mm diameter objective lens fits neatly to the white plastic pipe that is sold in D.I.Y. shops for waste plumbing, so the student can use a piece of plumbing pipe to make a sturdy telescope.
It is important to remember that the white plastic pipe will need to be lined with a non-reflective material such as black cartridge paper.

Again, this kit is intended for those people who are studying Astronomy as a GCSE course, in which they are required to build a small telescope as part of the coursework. This version will also make a high-quality finder-scope for an astronomer’s main telescope.
The kit is supplied with a four-page information leaflet about how to: find the focal length of a lens; use the lenses to make a telescope; find a telescope’s apparent field of view; find a telescope’s true field of view and find the telescope’s magnification.
