Fellow Stargazers: Recently donated to our club and to be used for fundraising: one 8" mirror blank kit with grinding compounds and instructions, all three hard-cover volumes of Amateur Telescope Making by Albert G. Ingalls (excellent condition). The books sell used on Amazon for $20 each. I see 8" mirror kits online for $150-$200. Don't know if there's that many mirror grinders out there these days, but thought I'd post here first. I will sell the items separately: the three books $40 total, and the mirror kit for $100. No discount for buying both.
