Welcome to Mezzoscope!

Why the odd name, Mezzoscope?  My telescope is bigger than what you would see in most stores.  But, it is not as big as the giant sized telescopes in professional observatories.  Mezzo is an Italian word meaning middle.  Now you know. 

What you see me next to is my homemade 18 inch (450 mm) f/4.5 Newtonian reflector.

I hope you enjoy some of the photos and information in this site.  With luck, you’ll find some of it useful.
