Guest AllyMcD97 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi guys, Not sure if any of you will remember me asking for help about half a year ago regarding my plan to build a telescope, but anyway, after lots and lots of work and late nights researching what to do, I've finally finished the build! I'm yet to stick the mirrors in and have my first look at the sky, but within the next few nights I'll update on that! I'm not expecting it to be very good, I've never done anything even remotely like this before and I've run into many obstacles along the way, but regardless, I'm proud of it and hopefully this is just my first step into the world of telescopes (both owning and building them!)

Daz Type-R Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 That looks fantastic, I would be well chuffed with that. Looking forward to a first light report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I would be really proud of that, it looks superb. Good luck with mounting the mirrors, I'll bet you can't wait to put some star light through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantuk Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Now that would catch the eye at a star party - fab design well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 That is a superb job, love the styling, well done. It looks a really solid build, and seems like you've cleverly designed it to have the eyepiece at a reasonable height even when pointing at the horizon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
