Title: A great book for building any telescope
Review: This is my favorite book on telescope making. The authors share their wisdom and experience designing very large amateur telescopes for visual observation of stars, planets, and nebulae. While they are mainly concerned with reflecting telescopes of over 16 inches aperture--the BIG ONES in their phrase--the optical designs and construction details are adaptable to scopes of any size. The book is logically organized for quick skimming and attractively produced with easily understood photographs and construction drawings. The witty and jargon-lite writing style makes it accessible to any reader likely to be interested in the construction and use of home-brewed telescopes. Budding telescope makers might also take a look at Richard Berry's Build Your Own Telescope for complete designs of more modest instruments.
