I have always dreamed of building my own telescope. I was in a astronomy club out by Randolph AFB back in the mid-80's and we went out on a couple of star parties. Half of the group had built their own including a few who ground their own mirrors.
Who has info on getting parts for a telescope? I live here in the PNW, so my nights out are few and far between, so it would need to be portable.
I know there are fully assembled telescopes, but I just have a desire to build my own.
