there will be two sessions of grinding each day, i.e; two Shifts.
it will be as follows.
10:00 AM to 1:00pm
2:00pm to 5pm.
this will be @ 6hrs/day, and a total of 54hrs work.
at this rate, we should be able to complete atleast until 220grade grinding.
Any person, regardless of any Experience in telescope making/astronomy, who would like to contribute to th project Please do come up.
this time i have put up the schedule very well in advance, so ppls, please make it to the sessions and see that you will have a 16" telescope to use this winter season...
i wouls preferably take in as many as possible, so that we can keep rotating hands.
as of today, there is an update.:
Pramod, and his friend,, two new members who attended the meet up today, are going to be grinding tomorrow, from 2:00 pm to 5:00pm.
cheers,
Sincerely,
