These pages are aimed at giving advice to someone intending to build and use a medium/large dobsonian. It also includes some web cam images taken through this scope. If you want to contact me please use the contact form.

Below is the scope featured on this web site, official first light was on the 1st August 2003.

This scope was inspired by those seen at star parties like Loughton AS Sky Camp, and meeting other people who have made large scopes like the one below a 457mm (18") f4.4 scope made by Tim Bance, a fellow ATM met at the 2002 Sky Camp.

Please look through the rest of this site to see how I made the scope.
