Advanced Telescope Making Techniques

Advanced Telescope Making Techniques

This book is an compilation of articles from the newsletter "Maksutov Circulars", a telescope building organization dedicated originally to building Maksutov telscopes, an original, creative idea for telescope design largely fallen out of favor due to it's overly complex design relative to its (marginal) advantages over more conventional designs. The extremely popular Schmidt-Cassegrain has long eclipsed the Maksutov in practicality and volume.
