For nearly 30 years the first edition of this book has been considered by many to be the best guide to making a Newtonian telescope. The author takes you step by step through the process of grinding, polishing, testing and installing your mirror in a tube on either an altazimuth or equatorial mount. The new edition with over 300 more pages now has entire chapters on making a Cassegrain telescope, optical window, equatorial mount, computer programs in generic BASIC for the reproduction of Focault test data. Also included are comprehensive bibliographies for Amateur Telescope Making Journal, Sky & Telescope’s Gleanings for ATM’s, Scientific American and Telescope Making magazines.
