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.
