Edmund's DIY guide to building your own telescope and accessories from the glass up, on the cheap. Packed with information on astronomy from coordinate systems to star magnitudes and telescope alignment, this book is a must if you're interested in the nuts and bolts of astronomy.
I built an equatorial pipe mount for my refractor from the instructions in this book and it came out perfectly! Sadly, the Edmund Scientific of the book is no longer around, but there are other sources (Surplus Shed for one) for the simple lenses used in the projects.
If you like astronomy and you like to build it yourself, buy this book. You'll be glad you did!
