Customer Reviews of Build Your Own Telescope
A great book for budding ATMs I first bought this book in 1989, and built the 10" Dobsonian described therein. Berry's talent lies is paring down a lot of the information available in other books, and telling you in clear, simple terms what you need to know. His directions for grinding a telescope mirror (I did this with a 6" mirror) are the clearest I've read. His technique for mirror grinding is clearly explained and easier to follow than many other books. There are also sections on testing mirrors, collimation, and other subjects helpful to amateur telescope makers. If you intend to build your own telescope, this book is a must. Even if you are a do-it-your-selfer who doesn't desire to build a telescope, or you have a general interest in astronomy, you'll find this book interesting. Fourteen years after I built the 10" Dobsonian described in this book, I would not change one single aspect of its design--thank you Richard Berry.
Great Plans - Great Results!
Great book on telescope building. I built his 6" equitorial mount reflector in 1987 and its still going strong. A wonderful place to start!
a good book to explore ATM
A very good book for someone that has more curiosity than ready cash. Very informative. Nice job!
