DIY Telescope (100th Entry!)

Ya, spend some money and you can assemble a telescope by yourself! It's actually some "toy" related to science called "Otona no Kagaku"(大人的科學, translated as Science for Adults) (Click to enter its website, click english for english) that comes with a mook (magazine book). It sort of tells you how things work while you're assembling it. 

I've bought a DIY camera mook before (I blogged about it! Check it out!) and telescope is my second Otona no Kagaku toy. I bought it at Kinokuniya KLCC when I revisit KL to arrange my visa thingy. In fact, I don't like calling them toys as they really work (including the camera), but they really look like one and I was actually having fun assembling those parts so, ya it's basically a "real toy". Plus, it only comes in Japanese version (I'm not sure if it has English version), thank God there're Kanji (chinese character) in Japanese, I managed to understand roughly what it says!

Today, according to the Lunar Calendar, is mid-autumn festival (aka mooncake festival) and every year during mid-autmn festival there'll be a beautiful full moon. It has never been miscalculated, unless the cloud at night is really thick. Can't wait to see the moon through my telescope!

p/s: Oh Yeah! Just realised it's my 100th entry! 


Before assemble.
After Assembled, looks like a freaking Galileo's telescope! (Wops, messy room there. Sorry guys)
