Stellafane Home-Made Telescope Gallery

Stellafane and the Springfield Telescope Makers want to encourage and support the making of amateur telescopes -- it is the foundation of our club and convention. In this section we are pleased to present a number of home-made telescopes. We would be happy to put your home-made telescope on these pages, just send photos and text to the webmaster (see the link in the footer of this page).

You can see many more amateur built telescope on our Stellafane Convention pages, both in the photo gallery sections and the telescope competition sections. You can also see mirrors being made in our Stellafane Mirror Class pages photo albums, and learn to build a telescope from our plans for a Dobsonian Telescope.

Builders with STM after their name are members of our club, the Springfield Telescope Makers, Inc.
