Recycled Clock Movement Equatorial Telescope or Luneta Astronomical Refraction by Marcelo Ambrogi - Taubaté - SP - Brazil
Advantages of using 24-hour clock:1 - Lets you enjoy filming in equatorial motion of the stars in a very simple and smart in your refractor telescope or astronomical telescope.2 - Make footage now only with the web cam and recycled directly to your computer. In privileged angles, never before experienced, using the imagination with recycled materials is cool and fun.
>> How to build a 24-hour clock for moving equatorial:
Materials:1 - Small digital clock used to be disassembled using only the main machine and the pointer 12 o'clock;2 - clothesline cord used white and thin;3 - Electrical tape. We use to coat the external part and fix the base;4 - Basis for setting a spotlight. We use only the stem and base;5 - Pulley used plastic 60 mm diameter and low weight as well, can not use that much weight pulley.
Anyway before building the equipment make sure everything is firm and well reinforced. Do not risk it and if not constructive abilities do not, ask a qualified professional.
Tools:1 - Scissors;2 - Hot glue;3 - goggles.
How-to:Using hot glue do to fix a pointer of the pulley 12 hours and put the clock in the base rod spot, pasting and making sure the slope of the clock.Curl up in a white rope pulley and put the other end at the base of the telescope objective.Get Tested for photography and filming.If you need or do I increase the diameter of the pulley tail off for it to follow the 24-hour rotation of the MoonCheck the camera installation and repair if necessary.
Use:With the telescope placed on the axis north to south, hit the device clock stretch and the pulley pre-set pointer in the twelve o'clock.I need to take stock of the telescope using a counter weight in the body of objective and stable without letting it shift to one side or another, need to loosen the adjusting rod side and leave it at zero gradient.This balance should be adjusted measures of the inclination of the telescope, so use the tape to move this weight to one side or another. Do not put any screws in the body of the telescope.
Conclusion:The proposal is to make an automatic movement equatorial axes using the land from east to west north south axis fixing the telescope. So we have a mover equatorial 24 hours to shoot the moon and stars and everything set up with you at the refractor telescope or astronomical telescope.With the clock on it will begin to wind the rope on the pulley and thus pulling the base of the lens to your side and monitored the Lua in motion.Knowing that this system is very sensitive with caution must adjust the speed of the rope, the diameter of the sheave.
Precautions and Tips:Whenever we serramos stick and wear eye protection and never be reckless cutting and pasting materials, making sure you are well posted and do not be swinging, any change must be considered before building or modifying the clock 24 hours , remember that it is recycled material only and has no cost.You will spend half an hour of service labor.
