While there I entered "astronomy" in their search box and came up with some good stuff. This one looked really cool - a guy controlling his scope with a Wii controller! Search for Wii telescope control and check out his video. Also some mirror grinding videos there and more.

It looks like he's trying to describe the whole process of making a newt from start to finish. Good stuff. If you get on youtube and enter "optical flat" in the search, several of his videos show up. There's also someone named, "kingjamez80". Hm... sounds familiar... -------------------- 18" Obsession Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 8 registered and 4 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
