I probably should post this in the DIY forum, but since I'm a beginner, I'll put it here. Santa gave the kids a family present last December a telescope. Apparently his budget was low at the time so he bought them a 4" Newt, in case they didn't appreciate it. To his amazement, one look at Saturn they were hooked. But now they want to go bigger. But since Santa has a wedding to pay for soon, and petrol costs a lot, he has a small budget again. So....I thinks the way to go, building one may be fun. But..............
I have a few questions for you who may have been down that road before me.
1. What size should I go for,,,being the first one I've attempted.
2. How much should it cost, coming from someone who has build one recently.
3. Where do I get the plans, what
good websites etc.
4. Anything you did when you built yours that you would never do again.
5. Where do I start (I know, the beginning, right)
6. Any other good advice you can give me.
Thanks,
Jimbo
