• Here are some of the topics covered in this book:
• Deciding what size telescope will suit your needs
• Ordering optics for a large Dobsonian
• Understanding plywood and how to use it properly
• Making a flotation cell to support the primary mirror

Product Description
This book tells how you can build a state-of-the-art Dobsonian telescope using readily available materials and supplies. Every step of construction is detailedin photographs and diagrams, and the underlying ideas are carefully explained. As a result of this three-year collaboration between authors David Kriege and Richard Berry, experienced and well-known telescope makers, you now have the opportunity to build a high-performance telescope from 14 inches to 40 inches aperture based on the thoroughly tested designs described in this book. The Dobsonian telescope takes its name from the astronomer/philosopher John Dobson, who introduced the concept of inexpensive, large-aperture telescopes to astronomy. Amateur astronomers at the time were so amazed that a telescope builtfrom simple, inexpensive materials performed so well that they could hardly believe their eyes. As home-built Dobsonians started showing up at star parties across the nation and people sa... More >>

• Shortens effective focal length of Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system by 37%
• Converts f/10 optical system to "faster" f/6.3 for a wider field of view
• Shortens exposure times for astrophotography by 2.5 times
• Four-element, fully multi-coated optical design with 41mm clear aperture
• Works with any brand and size of Schmidt-Cassegrain. Threads into rear cell.

Product Description
This combination focal reducer and field corrector lens accessory works with all Celestron C5, C8, C9¼, C11 and C14 telescopes. This clever accessory makes it possible to have a dual focal ratio instrument, without sacrificing image quality. The Reducer/Corrector is f/6.3 for C5, C8, C9¼ and C11 telescopes and f/7 for the C14 telescope.If offers wide fields of view with any Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Used for astrophotography, it reduces exposure time by a factor of 3. Celestron doesn't offer a f/6.3 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, because the design is impractical, with a large central obstruction, and resulting loss in contrast. This, added to the inability to utilize longer focal ratios for certain objects, led Celestron to design the four-element, fully multicoated f/6.3 Reducer/Corrector. Results are amazing both visually and photographically.... More >>
