Last Saturday, June 19, another group of “inquiring minds,” spanning a 60 decade age range, assembled for another of the now “famous” AST-251 Astronomy Telescope Making Workshops at PCC. The day was spent in fun building a Dobsonian mount, Newtonian reflector scope. The evening was also spent in fun making all of the appropriate adjustments and viewing the heavens at “First Light” for these new creations. Though the scopes were constructed from seemingly humble materials there was some very high-tech assistance afforded the night-time viewing.
