What is Amateur Telescope Making about?

Many amateur astronomers make their own instruments, either because of financial considerations or because they are just interested. Amateur Telescope Making offers a variety of designs for telescopes, mounts and drives which are suitable for the home-constructor. The designs range from simple to advanced, but all are within the range of a moderately well-equipped home workshop. Thus each chapter begins with reasons for undertaking the project, then looks at theoretical consideration before finishing with practical instructions and advice. An indication is given as to the skills required for the various projects. Appendices list reputable sources of (mail order) materials and components. The telescopes and mounts range from \"shoestring\" (very cheap) instruments to specialist devices that are unavailable commercially., Series: Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series, Issue: 23, Edition: 1st Edition., Includes bibliographical references (p. 257-259)
