build a telescope

This goal has always seemed natural and logical for me to attempt. It combines a lot of things I love: astronomy, physics, optics and ‘Do It Yourself’ projects. I hope to live in a more remote location one day with little to no light pollution, so having a telescope there would be ideal. I’m also interested in learning a lot more about astronomy and telescopes, so it seems one of the best way to learn more is to build a telescope. This will be good practice and provide a lot more background knowledge for when I eventually purchase a larger more expensive telescope too.
