Welcome to my Newtonian Reflector Telescope Build

Hello. This is a slow-moving project, but eventually I hope to have a completed Newtonian style reflector telescope to show. I'm the sort of person who usually has more than one project on the go at once, which means all my projects tend to progress slowly (unless I have a particular aim in mind). I don't tend to blog much about my projects, unless they are of particular interest, but you may find I have one or two others being blogged about. As of June 18, 2011, I started up my new blog about the archtop guitar I've begun. Not much to talk about yet, but as I get going I should be able to start posting soon. And, of course, as this Newtonian project moves along I will post here too.

,,, or, not quite yet...

I did a little research before buying the mirror I had in mind. Turns out because it is spherical, not parabolic, I am advised against buying it. It seems there are issues with spherical mirrors that require special corrective measures in order to obtain good focus. After I find out more about that I'll post info here.

I welcome all questions/comments about my project. But please keep in mind that I'm not (yet) a telescope know-it-all.
