Hmm anyone know if there are any sort of clubs or classes around Pittsburgh PA? It's not so much the time consumption I'm worried about. I was looking at prices though and didn't realize blanks were so expensive. A friend of mine that used to build telescopes shows me a place to get a 10" finished mirror for like 400 bucks. Makes me thinking about going that route although I do kind of somewhat want to grind my own mirror. If there was a class or something around here I'd be more then happy to attend. If I did build a 12.5" it would probably be a strut style that I could pull apart and an F6 or F8 since it would be able to be dismantled. I figure that should be around 10' long.
As for the camera thing I was thinking of pulling apart a DSLR and using the CCD out of it or something.
