Project Description: We are taking the optical components from old, broken, and unusable telescopes and hand-building dobsonian (altitude/azimuth) telescopes. When finished we will have four or five portable telescopes (in the 6-inch to 16-inch range) for recruiting in remote towns and schools with evening viewing sessions and fun physics/astronomy talks.
