ATM Re: supplies for making telescopes




>Where do you find the materials to make telescopes?

Let's start with what you need. A newtonian telescope is best for a 
begginer. That's what's I'm building. And what does that mean? Well, 
There's a concave mirror with aluminium coating. Light goes into the 
telescope, and hit's the primary mirror, and then it's reflected back to 
a smaller mirror, a secondary mirror, which is helf in a 45 degrees 
angel. That makes the light curve from the original path left or right, 
toward the eyepiece and your eye.

Both mirrors are coated with a reflecting layer, like alumium or silver.

Can someone give this fellow some website's like the Newtonian Pages, I 
don't know the URL.
