Hello! I have been accused of being an advanced amateur astronomer. I've been owning telescopes since the mid-80's. The observing list I have compiled has become well-known in southern California. People have offered to buy it, copy it, and steal it. The first time I rebuilt a telescope was about 1990. That was a 17.5" Odyssey Newtonian. In the mid-90's I made an off-axis Herschelian telescope using an 8" flex mirror I ground and polished. This I described on the atm mailing list. Here are some of my other projects. Maybe you will call them inventions?
