Dobsonian Telescope Making

Build a telescope the Dobson way.  You will learn about John Dobson and his reflector telescopes, as well as how these telescopes work.  You'll learn the step-by-step method for grinding and polishing the mirror, building the mount, and assembling a complete telescope.  Seeing the rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter or the Orion Nebulae through a telescope you built yourself is a fantastic experience.  Material
fees, including mirror glass and plywood, will run approximately $300 to $400, depending on the size of the scope you make and are payable to the instructor.
