Hello, I've been in the shadows reading for some time not posting, but I figure its time to reveal myself. This will (hopefully) be my first ATM project and although its probably not the best thing to start with in terms of being easy, I hoped to make a 8" binocular telescope. I was planning on grinding the mirrors myself using the kit from william-bell , making my own tool instead of using the second blank so I could make two mirrors (I would have to order more grit I assume). Is that even possible to do? I read over Stellafane's website and many others about ATM, but they don't always give those tips that people have discovered that forums can provide. I also ordered Texereau's book and requested a few others from the library, but I haven't received any yet so I figured I'd ask on the forum while I waited. I found a site outlining a 12.5" binocular telescope and he mentioned using Dale Keller's Newt 2.5 which is a windows only application as far as I could tell, I am using a mac and I was wondering if there was any software that was similar. Any software for ATMing would be nice too. Please and thanks
