| PURPOSE |
The ATM SIG is an informal, loose-knit group of MAS members who are
interested in amateur telescope making. Some of the members are active glass
pushers, others are only contemplating building a scope and probably won’t
grind their own mirrors. Anyone with an interest in ATMing is welcome to join.
The SIG exists for three main purposes:
1) To encourage and facilitate amateur telescope making (ATM) in
Minnesota, and provide workshops, demonstrations and other resources toward
this end
2) To create a venue for members to obtain guidance and support
during their telescope-making endeavors
3) To swap and share stuff, and possibly acquire supplies in bulk
