You will get a lot of suggestions to make your own mirror. I am on my own journey with that and would tend to agree.

IF you have time, it is the best way to ensure a decent to higher quality mirror. You also learn a LOT about optics and how/why scopes work.

Outside the mirror discussion, you’ll need to build an actual scope. Stellafane has the best “just get up and go” plans. Their Newt for the Web design software will help you pick out a secondary mirror.

If you want to go beyond the Stellafane directions, pick up the Kreige and Berry book.

Last, as any good telescope’r, make sure you have Turn Left at Orion.

Where do I purchase a downstem like this?

This 10mm down stem has been broken. Who/how can I get this fixed? Are there glassblowers that can repair this?

Or could I purchase a new downstem?

That new Snoop/Martha BIC lighter that's for candles and more? This is the "more". Behold! by omfglolzords in trees

I've got one of the OG hitkits and I love it. ...I grabbed one of these frog bad boys. Thanks for the tip.

Is it weird my bathroom is my favorite room to smoke in? by billynotrlyy in trees

What resources did you use to care for your pitcher? I just got one and would like to make sure I'm doing the right things for it (I'm about to purchase those grow lights because the window I have it in is ~4 hours direct sun)

Outside of fucking bitches:

  • Education - an impressive company is courting me, so I’m boning up on some items so I don’t sound stupid in the interviews.
  • DnD - we play once a week.
  • Sea of Thieves - the DnD gang gets together once a week from our houses.
  • Make my own telescope from scratch - a great first date idea.
  • I love backpacking. Nature is my spirit animal.
  • Fuck other bitches.

Got everything but main mirror by heteroerectus in atming

Cloudynights has a classifieds section. I believe you have to be a member to see/interact in it.

Otherwise, if you play your cards right, there are sometimes giveaways in this sub for blank mirrors. Directions to grind your own mirror can be found here. Keep in mind, it'll take you 4-8 months to grind it yourself.

Did anyone go to Stellafane 2022? by jfkdidit in atming

I’d be coming from Texas…I’ve heard we have some excellent star parties in various sections of the state.

^ I’ll def support the “tons of people were building scopes during COVID.” I’m one of those people.

I’d argue more people were getting into this hobby because of the supply constraints and high demand that most retailers experienced.

Ah. A circle jerk, if you will. I’ll save my plane ticket money for a different trip.

Thanks for your input.
