If we place a 3.6mm wide sensor at the focal point of an 800mm lens, it subtends and angle of view of about a quarter of a degree. So effectively the magnification is increased by a factor 10 to x160.ДЄnother way of thinking about the power of the telescope is the angle of field of view. But the Raspberry Pi Camera sensor is just one tenth the size of a 35mm film frame. So, for 35mm film that would give a magnification of x16. The focal length of the objective mirror in the PiKon is 800mm. A 50mm lens there gives a x1 magnification. WeвЂ™ve worked that out based on a standard 35mm film camera. The PiKon telescope has a magnification factor of about x160.

The telescope is operated using a Raspberry Pi computer, keyboard and monitor. The objective mirror is 4.5 inches diameter (113mm) and a focal length of about 600mm. The lens of the Raspberry Pi camera is removed, exposing the camera sensor. The size of the camera printed circuit board (PCB) is 24mm x 24mm, about the same size as the 45 degree mirror. In the PiKon design, the Raspberry Pi camera is placed in the tube with no 45 degree mirror. So that you donвЂ™t get your head in the way while viewing, there is a 45 degree mirror placed in the telescope tube and the eye piece is mounted on the side with a focusing rack. The PiKon is a telescope that uses 3D printed parts and a Raspberry Pi with camera to capture images.ДЄ conventional (Newtonian) reflecting telescope uses a concave mirror (objective) to form an image which is then examined with an eye piece.
