I restore wrecked telescopes and make YouTube videos about it. Occasional equipment reviews too.
@markhamillofficial.bsky.social I showed the Super8mm version of Star Wars to my kids today. It's only 7 minutes long and no Trench Run, but it was still awesome. My kids were amazed at how archaic film projection is, lol.

I waited 39 years to build MacGyver's infamous paper telescope. 👀
Spoiler: It Failed Spectacularly - @hwinkler4real.bsky.social , I think I still need a little Fonzie-level backup. 😅

Tonight was one of the last times we get to see the moon Titan cast its shadow on Saturn for many years. It'll happen one more time next month. This was captured with a 12 inch Dobsonian #telescope and a smartphone camera: #astronomy #saturn #titan #stem

Telescopes shouldn't need armor. I de-clad this telescope and find a better solution for mounting a red-dot finder.

Forget about your old TINY eyepieces from days of old. Use this DIY adapter in your vintage telescope to take advantage of your modern eyepieces. I'll show you how make it:

@astronomy.bsky.social Captured video of #Mars hiding behind the full #moon. Captured with smartphone camera, ES 4.7mm eyepiece, and old Bird-Jones telescope. Original had audio of neighbors dog, so I replaced it with soothing music.

The Tasco 8V is one of the only commercial Bird-Jones #telescopes ever manufactured. Here you see the front optical setup that made it so unique (and so hard to collimate). I deciphered the strange secondary mirror mount system to get the collimation close enough.
