I've had a few questions from inspiring minds about building a Newtonian and there are a few of us that have already done so , so it might be slow at first but there is interest.
I am no expert but have sifted through all the different ATM forums for ideas and info on the techniques and optical theories involved.
It took me several months of procrastinating and I think I surfed the web from here to the US and back several times before taking the plunge , but have never looked back .
I am an ATM for life now.
Remember amateur astronomy has it's roots with home built scopes . It's the only way most of us will ever be able to afford top quality large scopes.
Then there are those that just want the challenge and pride in making his own .
