G'day all, I am just about finished building a new pier for my good friend Ron. All the details are on the A.S.I.G.N DIY page. Check it out. copy this into your browser... aussiepeople.com.au/asignobservatory/DIY.aspx Cheers, Baz.
making telescopes is for people who got gigantic/insurmountable amount of time. Very amazing hobby thou.
Actually, My life is so full and fast paced, I have very little time for making things. Thats why I am up late at night even on work days, to squeeze as much into my waking hours as I can...I wish I had more time. We are not here on this planet for very long so I intend to LIVE! Baz.
I just bought a new CENTAURI aluminum adjustable telescope pier/tripod from China for my 4 inch Chinese F/5 and 6 inch F/8 equatorial refractors.

It is a good site for telescopes, especially Chinese refractors.
