Neuropsych asked:


I’ve looked at other home-jobs, but they bought their lenses and stuff. I think it’ll be less expensive to grind my own. I have a year to work with. However, I move a lot because I cannot find any peace and quiet and I can only sleep at night (Neurological issues) and I never know where I’m going to live next, so it must be rugged and portable.

I am looking for a good telescope with software & metal detector for my 11 year old?

I have an 8″ Newtonian telescope on a dobsonian mount, I bought it in 2005 but it has been hardly used and is in great condition, and two eye pieces; a 25mm and a 10 mm that i would sell with it but they are cheap quality. Approximately how much could i get for all this?

I am part of the engineering orientation crew at my university and I need to make a project. I decided to do a telescope but I do not know if the students will find it interesting, so I want to make sure somebody will want to build it.
