  A student major in theoretical Physics yet, with a team interested in working on a telescope handmade, currently aiming for a clear view on the surface of the Moon, as well as a rough shape of the Mars and Jupiter maybe. We wish to design an aluminum structure for its base, and a optical system with reflective mirrors. We have aquired basic mathematic and physical knowledge, but no experience of choosing, using stimulation applications or choosing and buying materials, optical mirrors of different brands. Sincerely we wish to have instructions from you experts.
