Building an Astronomical Telescope: An Observer’s Guide
This is a practical book for amateur astronomers, including those who are quite capable of resolving, for example, a quasar ten thousand million light years away. Doherty describes the different types of telescope that can be built together with their mountings and accessories such as search scopes and camera mounts. Full details are given on how to construct tubes, and how to grind and polish mirrors and lenses. He also shows how to build a variety of practical home observatories from a simple garden shed to a fully fledged dome.

Description
This book is based on a GCSE course, and is very popular
The view through the eyepiece of a good Telescope is an experience which often marks the turning point from an interest in telescopes to an overwhelming urge to own one. However, a visit to a telescope supplier and a study of the prices, can deter all but the most passionate of Amateur Astronomers. However, the remedy is a simple one; almost anyone who wishes to may build a Telescope capable of studying the surface of the Moon, the rings of Saturn, the brighter Moons of Jupiter, Nebulae and Double Stars.
