Quick questions here. A friend and I were thinking of building a DIY telescope. Ofcourse, mirrors are a problem. We don't want to go through the trouble of making our own mirror. I'm guessing there's quite a few places that sell them. Are they affordable? Got any links for me?

Thanks.

I don't know of any stores that sell them (I'm sure there are several tho) but you can find the mirrors and eyepieces on ebay for not much. I was planning on building a 8" dobsonian telescope and IIRC it was going to be ~$250-300 for all the the 2 mirrors and eyepiece assembly.
