Amateur Telescope MakingA group of four AVAC members have gotten together and signed up with the famous John Dobson to learn how to make a telescope from scratch. We're all amateurs but we've had a great time learning how to grind mirrors. John has a unique style of teaching and I can heartily recommend this experience to any amateur astronomer!!
June, 2002 Matt Leone has decided to make a 24" mirror! This mirror is worthy of some serious respect. The plan is to have many of the Club members take part in its grinding and polishing. The grinding will probably start this July and take 1 to 2 years.
