Each telescope's construction is described in detail with text, annotated photos, CAD drawings and virtual reality models.
Small images shown in shaded relief are links .
I hope they find some ideas here they can use. Last updated February 24, 2001. In the author page I describe my background, tell why I make aluminum telescopes, give credit to those who inspired and helped me, and provide links to a few other ATM Web sites. There are instructions for using the included virtual reality models and CAD drawings. It is not unsportsmanlike to study closely the details of telescopes made by others and to 'lift' this or that feature from them, provided one improves these features.
