Astronomy Cast Ep. 327: Telescope Making, Part 1 HD

Some astronomers are control freaks. Its not enough to buy a telescope, they want to craft every part of the experience with their own hands. If youre ready, and willing to get your hands. As weve said before, all telescopes really want to be in space. In part 3 of our series on amateur telescope making, we bring you up to speed on the final frontier: amateurs building space.
