amateur Telescope making…it could change your life!

Andy Poniros
NASA Solar System Ambassador

While many amateur astronomers get started in the hobby by purchasing commercially available equipment, there is a thriving community of amateur telescope makers who build their observing instruments themselves!  From mirror grinding to intricate woodwork to 3D printing, there is lots to learn in the art of amateur telescope making.  Join us as Andy Poniros returns to WAA to give us insight into what goes into building your own telescope.

Free and open to the public.  We encourage in-person attendance to better connect with fellow club members.
