Build a telescope this weekend!
Monday, June 8th, 2009I hope everyone escaped the tornados over the weekend. I was in downtown Denver for the Capital Hill People’s Fair. Lots of fun to be sure!
For those of you that just don’t have a dog-gon thing to do over Father’s Day (June 21st) or the July 4th weekend, you might want to try your hand at making a telescope! Yes you heard me right, you can build your very own 4.5″ f8 telescope… and the best part of all… it will cost you under $100! How you ask? HOW under the stars can I make my own scope for under $100??? In the wonderful world of cyberspace all you have to do is point and click…
Visit The $90 Porta-Bowl Telescope! for the full scope, err… I mean scoop!
Cheers!
