Like Mather’s original Aquascope, this project allows users to perform night observations and see 90 degrees to the side of the scope. However, it is adjustable so you can look in other directions as well.
• To see 90 degrees to the side, hold the mirror at a 45 degree angle.
• To see straight down, position the mirror vertically so you can see straight down through the clear bottom disc and tighten the bolts.
• No matter what angle you look at it, you can add more LED lights pointing in that direction.
