Good fun show called How its Made, which is basically what is says.

The telescope episode, about 5 minutes worth of watching that gives a nice base idea on how they mass produce them. CNC milling, mirror polishing, etc.

Interesting viewing - but why was there a "film" SLR attached to the telescope in the closing shot??

I've been watching this show for years. It's great. Anyone else notice its title sequence though is "How It's Mad" ?

Great show.
I have a 2 volume set of books, c. 1970, with the same title.
Shows you how to make everything from an Astrolabe to a Zoetrope.

Nice. Looks like Orion optics uk manufacturer.

Pretty sophisticated setup they have by look of it.
