This group takes the DIY making side of telescope and related items to the next level In such that it is mainly for people with the ability to Turn, Mill and cast Metal. This in no way prohibits people without these machines to join because the more the merrier. The group should include things people have made or are in the process of making and also the things that they would like to see made but as yet have not got round to or have not thought how to as yet.This is to further their enjoyment in the field of astronomy. Also the group is for helping each other and to possibly help others in our hobby who does not have these machines but need work done on a mutually agreed basis. Such as help with machining methods and techniques as well as materials used also bring any new idea to fruition may it be in its design or/and the CAD drawing of such designs for all in the group to benefit from Also new processes such as the anodising of Aluminium. Plus anything else you can suggest?
