Astronomical Recycled Summit, Recycled Astronomical Dome - Soccer Ball Model by Marcelo Ambrogi - March 2012.
Advantages of using recycled astronomical dome:
1 - The night breeze or the wind does not affect the images taken by the telescope;
2 - Avoid the risk of falling and breaking the tripod lens.
How to build a dome >> recycled to an astronomical telescope Astronomical Refractor or Luneta:
Materials:
1 - Keep clothes, old and dismantled. We will use the plywood and wood;
2 - clothesline cord used. We use to tie;
3 - wire used. We use to tie;
4 - plastic film used to wrap. We will use to coat the outside and the base.
Comments: Actually you can use any material that is recycled and support, in the example above the plywood that was used and photographed every step of construction, can also use sheets of PVC partitions that do not use anymore.
If using another type of telescope (refractor), may be changed hexagons and pentagons opening, using the opening of the sky the way you want.
Anyway before placing the equipment inside the dome make sure everything is firm and well reinforced at the sign of any balance in the structure reinforces the need, do not take risks and do not have woodworking skills and constructive you do not, ask the qualified professional.
Tools:
1 - Saw;
2 - Drill and drill a 10 mm;
3 - Hammer Ear;
4 - Stiletto;
5 - Tape;
6 - Pencil carpenter;
7 - plier;
8 - goggles.
Layout:
1 - leather soccer ball, only to see the measurements and positioning of the nineteen nine hexagons and pentagons.
2 - A drawing of the hexagon ball mold;
3 - A drawing of the pentagon ball mold;
How-to:
With the soccer ball in hand, to use her model fitting in the proportion that you will want to astronomical dome, in this example the hexagon has 230 mm radius and the Pentagon has 180 mm radius. The sides of them will get 230 mm on both sides.
With these basic measures will use: the hexagon with 230 mm radius and 180 mm radius pentagon. So this will be vaulted with a circumference of 1200 mm and maximum height of 2200 mm. This size is only for the telescope, do not enter into it serves.
After scratching the mold used to mark the offset I picked up the wardrobe and sawing with the saw, then make a hole at each end of each hexagon and pentagon. The total number of pieces that I have to do is nineteen nine hexagons and pentagons.
Can be sanded if barbs.
Assembly:
Home placing a pentagon on a table and will abutting and holding the hexagons with the string of rope or wire through the holes made on the tips of the ends, so do the base of the ball and so on.
There is a need can fix some wood inside the dome and to a strengthening in the open edges of the hexagons.
The base I do it with three (3) doors 1000 mm in length making a U-shaped, which will serve to accommodate the Astronomical Ball. This time will depend on the type and height of a tripod, as the size of the telescope I can also reduce the height and diameter of the dome.
Space astronomy:
In possession of the telescope that will put the libero hexagons or pentagons interfere with the objective and eyepiece respectively.
At the bottom make a U-enhancing move that left the tripod, to avoid any contact with the telescope
And finally I coat the outside of the dome and base with plastic wrap or just do a simple plastic cover.
You can use a side table to place the objective lenses and computer if necessary
Being thus composed of two parts: the ball and the base
Use:
With everything mounted orienting the telescope to the viewing position and do not touch more on the astronomical dome, only the normal adjustment of the eyepiece.
Conclusion:
The advantages of using recycled astronomical dome:
1 - The wind or the breeze does not interfere in the images photographed by the telescope;
2 - Avoid the risk of falling and breaking the tripod the lens;
3 - Awake awareness of recycling for scientific and educational purposes.
4 - Speed up the development and construction of its dome astronomical.
5 - Reaproveitamentos of discarded materials that could pollute the environment, and will now produce science within our home, so intelligent, creative and spontaneous.
Thus able to successfully photographing the Moon and the Stars that pass unnoticed every night for us, year after year.
Precautions and Tips:
Whenever we serramos stick and wear eye protection and never be flustered to mount the dome, making sure it is firmly attached and do not be swinging, any change must be considered before you build or modify the astronomical dome, remember that is recycled only and has no cost.
You will spend about 8 hours of labor service.
If you leave it well protected from the rain will last longer.
