Placing any two convex lenses (with different focal lengths) a distance apart will create an up-side-down magnified image of far away objects.

These are instructions on how to make a simple telescope out of everyday parts (PVC pipe / magnifying lenses) using specialized 3D printed fittings to hold your lenses in just the right place

What You Need:
  • 2" PVC Pipe (about 6-12 inches)
  • Magnifying lenses of different focal lengths (like these http://amzn.com/B003BHW5GQ)
