Description

I designed and 3D printed a variable aperture iris mechanism that lets me precisely control how much light enters an 8-inch telescope — dimming bright objects like the Moon to a comfortable viewing level without degrading contrast unnecessarily.

This is based on GSO 8 inch Dobsonian Newtonian 1200mm  focal length and f/6 Telescope.

 

Happy Printing

 

Note: 

The leaves needs to be printed in 15 numbers in pares and glued together.

M4 Brass Heat Set to be used with M4 counter sunk bolt.

the Slot Plate or the Pivot Plate needs to be Fixed using Screw or Super Glue.
