Dobsonian Telescope Making

Dobsonian Telescope Making

Learn how a Dobsonian Telescope works and how you can make your own! Demonstrations will be held on grinding glass to make a mirror for a Newtonian telescope. Various telescopes will be on exhibit to show how the optics and mechanics work.

What inspired you to make this project?:
Friend's suggestion to take the telescope making class initially, but I wanted to learn the night sky and what better way than to build your own telescope!
