:: Sunday, May 22, 2005 :: Okay, I think my new favorite television series (in the wake of the HBO series Six Feet Under's impending last season) is PBS's Rough Science. Now I want to build a telescope and sit up on my roof with it. The scientists on the show had what looked like only an 8-10" mirror and they got a pretty big enlargement of the craters on the moon (Plato and Archimedes, specifically). I wonder if I could build one small enough to be safely mounted on the small roof just above my deck during the summer months. The materials seem rather inexpensive, probably the lens being the most dear; the rest is mirror, wood, swivel, base. Like I need another project.
