Description:
To explore the Cosmos with the aid of homemade telescopes and hand ground optics is a tremendously rewarding experience. In this astrophotography photo album, one can find examples of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters all captured using backyard telescopes created via a little ingenuity and "grinding". It is by no means an exhaustive list of the celestial wonders that one might observe, but it is a fair representation of the objects that young Amateur Telescope Makers might find especially interesting in their quest to image and understand the heavens.
