Help nerdkind by sending our ground breaking telescope Betty to the Canaries to see if she can match the resolution of big observatories


You can help nerdkind by sending Betty (name jointly decided upon by me and Ceri) our homespun 8inch newtonian telescope to the Canaries to see if she can match the resolution of multi million pound astronomical observatories.

Here is the video which shows how Betty came into being: https://youtu.be/fdqb-CHyHNM

The donations will cover mine and bunny's and Ceri's airfare, accommodation, car hire and - at Ceri's insistence - a protective case which should prevent me from breaking the scope en route.

 If we do not raise £1800 in 5 weeks then everyone will get their money back.

 If we do raise £1800 then everyone who donates £30 or more will have their name inscribed onto the scope. We will use your username from this site unless you message me to request a different name. 

Fingers crossed and thank you so much for your support.
