Telescopes are great tools for observing the heavens and landscapes, and building one as an amateur is possible.
The guide from the Springfield Telescope Makers club, which dates back to the early 20th century, provides in-depth instructions on telescope making.
The guide covers selecting a telescope, crafting a simple Newtonian reflector setup on Dobsonian mounts, mirror production including grinding and polishing techniques, testing optical components, and assembling the final telescope.
This guide is a valuable resource for amateur telescope builders, offering rich experience, practical advice, and a good chance of success in building a telescope.
