Telescope Fixers and Makers Group

Welcome to the Telescope Fixers and Makers Group, where we cherish the timeless beauty and functionality of telescopes. Here, we believe that each telescope transcends mere ownership; instead, we are custodians entrusted with preserving these magnificent instruments for future generations. Whether repairing a vintage refractor or crafting a cutting-edge reflector, our dedication to these marvels of optics connects us across time and space. Together, we honor the craftsmanship of those who came before us and ensure that the wonder of exploring the cosmos remains alive and accessible to all who gaze through these eyepieces.

Sometimes we wonder half way through a job if pulling something totally apart was a good idea : )

Own a telescope and unsure how to unlock its full potential or care for it properly? You've found your haven. Here at our group, we are dedicated to guiding both members and the public in mastering their telescopes—whether it's learning optimal usage, safely maintaining and cleaning optics, or embarking on ambitious projects to build or refurbish these celestial windows. With our collective expertise and passion, we ensure that every telescope owner not only understands but also cherishes their instrument, fostering a community where exploration and preservation go hand in hand.
