Re: ATM telescope making books

["Eric Royer" <eroyer-liste@9online.fr>]

Hello,
the French edition of the book by Texereau is now available online. You can
download it free from http://www.astrosurf.com/texereau/
Since the book has not been available in French for years, Jean Texereau
gave his permission to make the book available online.
Of course, you need to understand French.

Eric
