Yes, we’re building a 3D Printed Newtonian Telescope called Hadley. It’s being printed in PETG and in the video below, I give a quick tour. My build isn’t done yet, but it’s darn close.

Hey everyone, I’m very sorry for the long absence. It’s been a while since I’ve written, and so much has changed.

As the BITX40 Rebuild gets closer to completion, I find myself wondering if I’ll ever be fully finished with it, or if it will continue as a years long project. I suspect the latter, but for the sake of completing other projects, I want to get it “finished” and leave it as-is for the time. …

Just a quick update on the BITX rebuild. You’ll notice that I’m not calling it a BITX40 anymore. And, there’s some exciting news I’d like to share about a neat new placing you’ll be seeing more writing from me. Find out in the video below!
