Stargazing Can I Make My Own 8 Telescope with These Required Instruments?

AI Thread Summary
To make an 8" telescope, particularly a reflector, it's essential to gather the right instruments and materials. Resources such as the book "How to Make a Telescope" by Jean Texereau are highly recommended for guidance. Searching for amateur telescope making (ATM) online can provide additional valuable information and tutorials. Many users suggest starting with a clear plan and understanding the components needed for assembly. Overall, with the right resources and determination, building an 8" telescope is achievable.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
