In Part 2 of the Reflector Telescope Rebuild series, we take a used, worn-out 12-inch reflector and bring it back to life with 5 key upgrades that boost its performance and make it better than ever! Watch as we:
1. Resurface the telescope’s exterior and interior.
2. Add flocking in critical areas to reduce stray light.
3. Clean the mirrors for maximum reflectivity.
4. Mask the primary mirror clips with a custom aperture mask.
Reassemble everything into a shiny, fully restored telescope.
Join me as I walk through the process step-by-step and reveal the finished product that’s ready for incredible views of the night sky. If you’ve ever considered upgrading your telescope, this is the inspiration you need!
