About us
This group is for anyone interested in the craft of building their own telescope from the ground up. Whether you have never picked up a piece of optical glass or you are just looking for a space to troubleshoot a current project, this is a place to share the process. We focus on the fundamentals of grinding mirrors, designing mounts, and understanding the optics that make stargazing possible.
We meet regularly to swap advice, look at each other's work, and help one another overcome the inevitable hurdles that come with a homemade build. There is something uniquely rewarding about viewing the night sky through an instrument you put together with your own two hands. We keep things informal, practical, and open to anyone willing to put in the time to learn the trade.
