Dobson Making

This site is made to help those who wish to build a dobsonian telescope, motorized or not. Some pages take a long time to download because we took the option to publish images of good quality to be able to be used as well as possible. Many thanks to John Lightholder for his great help in translation.


Pages with a french flag are not yet translated.
