Description
Dedicated to homemade refracting telescopes.
Any and all kinds of refracting telescopes that you built..either by purchasing an objective from D&G, Yaegers, Antaries, Brandt, or any of the hundreds of professional, semi-professional, or Amateur objective makers. Consisting of parts you make. borrow or scrounge. Even scopes that you simply assemble from ordered manufacturers listed parts or accessories.
If you built it from scratch or would like to learn how to...this is the place to get aquainted, meet those who have built their own refracting telescopes, and just have fun. Those of you who are familiar with RTMC or Stellefane are familiar with what it can take to produce a quality refractor from things unrelated, or altered.
Try to keep personal issues to an unnoticeable level, and lets have fun....

Re: Making a refractor telescope
Welcome Lee.... Any book outlining the fabrication of a refractor from objective to baffles is good for your library. IMV. I too build mirrors in my mirror
