The Chumack Observatories

John's First Homemade telescope

John's First Homemade telescope

This was my first homemade telescope, designed and built from scratch in 1989.

Made from Plywood and Masonite, Epoxy and Machine Screws.  It is a 16″ diameter Newtonian Reflector on a fork equitorial mount.
