Hay Geoff.
Have you heard of Galvoptics look em up on the net they seem quite reasonable.
I can't make it this week but I will next if I may also My dad used to work on the railway and I remember Him bringing home round glass windows that came from a steam engine. I'll bring one see what you think.

Hello. I'm a novice to astronomy (read a couple of books watched numerous Documentaries) and I have decided to build My own telescope. I have set My heart on a 10" Dobs and if you have looked at building your own you will know that primary mirrors are enormously expensive and I refuse to spend more then £100 on a mirror (I'm on a low budget and a bit tight).
I'd like to have a go at grinding My own mirror, but I'd need an expert on hand to stop me buggering it up. I've read a lot of stuff about it on the net but can't find anywhere local that will teach Me.
If anybody has any suggestions I'd be grateful.
Thanks.
Mick.
(Cool site by the way)
