It's a simple and well-known fact that the quality of images is directly proportional to the power of the telescope you use. With that being said, a homemade roof mount can help improve the clarity of the images that are captured by your telescope, regardless of its power.
All right, let's have a virtual show of hands - how many of you armchair astronomers up there had tried climbing on the top of their roof to get a better view of the sky? If you said yes, that's all right because I've done the same back in the day. Because what amateur astronomer wouldn't want a better view of the sky by moving up close? So it's also common sense that a roof mount for your telescope would further enhance the images you view on your device.
Buying a roof mount for your telescope is always an option, but how about making a homemade mount instead that could be sturdier in the long run? All you need is some lumber and nails along with a little know-how!
The main thing you want to keep in mind when making a homemade telescope roof mount is stability. You would want to think of the roof's natural shape and not try to go against the grain. Always consider the type of your roof first and mold your lumber accordingly. Embrace the design of your roof and don't try to make any changes you will be sorry for in the end, because a homemade telescope roof mount, after all, is supposed to be stable.
Build your homemade roof mount out of quality supplies. Don't cut costs on what should be the best way protect your spiffy new investment, or even an older model dating back from years ago! Make sure your roof mount is accessible and convenient, because after all, you won't be storing your telescope outdoors anyway. Don't make it reachable only through that tiny opening in your attic. The roof mount will only serve its purpose if you make sure you make your telescope easy to get to.
You can find many different building plans for a homemade telescope roof mount. They are available online as well as in many different books on the subject. Before beginning this project and giving your telescope a nice little mount, you have to, once again, be at least a little handy with those tools of yours.
Every amateur astronomer should value the time they spend creating their own roof mount for their telescope. Making your own homemade roof mount for your telescope can also be a very rewarding experience as well. There's nothing quite like knowing that you are making your star gazing expeditions as personally fulfilled as they can be.
