On May 22, 2019, Jim Chung, author of the book Astro-Imaging Projects for Amateur Astronomers: A Maker's Guide, gave a presentation on a telescope building project that is not in his book. He shows how he designed and built a CHiefspeigler Telescope. Never heard of the CHiefspeigler Telescope? Well, Jim does a good job of describing how it works and why and how one could consider building one. He gave his presentation at the Recreational Astronomy Night meeting for the RASC, Toronto Centre, which was held at the Ontario Science Centre.
