| ATM - I've always been interested in astronomy and space in general. Around 1999 I started attending our local astronomy club meetings. After joining I learned that you could actually MAKE your own telescope. Combining my wood working interests with amateur telescope making seemed like the perfect fit. My first project was to build an 8 inch newtonian telescope. I bought the main mirror and secondary from La Maison in Montreal. The rest I built from scratch. Later I replaced the homemade focuser. |
