GOAL
To inspire and inculcate scientific temper within the community members, volunteers and new participants in the community, we believe tools like telescope are essential. We had searched to purchase a telescope within our possible financial reach. However we still stand on making one collaboratively with the free(dom)ly open design - required special machines - which puts us to a decision to purchase the instrument. This requires embracement of contributions which will be put to good common use with transparent management and responsibility. Being said that, we also have hacking plans to augment the telescope with open hardware tinkering.
