This mirror was a test, built for $1 million, but it was not suitable for astronomy because of the test site's weather. As of 2006, [ 5 ] plans were being made to build a larger 8-meter liquid-mirror telescope ALPACA for astronomical use, [ 6 ] and a larger project called LAMA with 66 individual 6.15-meter telescopes with a total collecting ...
A 6-inch (15 cm) Newtonian reflector built by a school student on display at Stellafane Although the types of telescopes that amateurs build vary widely, including Refractors, Schmidt–Cassegrains and Maksutovs, the most popular telescope design is the Newtonian reflector, [3] described by Russell W. Porter as "The Poor Man's Telescope".
