So, my SPS group is building an optical and a radio telescope (using a typical TV dish). The trouble is, these are merely for showing kids and sometimes for us to just see the sky. Because of their small size, we won't be able to do a lot of research.
What I need is a telescope like the following: https://telescopes.net/store/planewave-0-7m-cdk-corrected-dall-kirkham-telescope.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwps2_BRC5jduHor-h8xESJADGT-LtRFYSPyXVBnwa0FvJoH0VKp7tWY5O0p2WK3GE1MlaJxoC8-_w_wcB. Using which we can use computer programs to analyze data and get involved in research. Problem is, it's too darn expensive. If we make it on our own, we'd be able to drastically reduce the price.
So, is there any comprehensive guide which has step-by-step method on how one can go about building a telescope like that and then later use it for real research?
Thank you!
