Hello all, here are some facts about the well celebrated astronomer Nick Woolf	

• Designed large telescopes all over the world using mirrors
	• Takes lots of time and money for space telescopes
	• Better to take advantage and learn ahead.
	• Think what is best question. Explain and research how you will approach.
	• Believes even with a small telescope astronomers can do many things so the possibilities are   endless.
	• Favorite project was hot air balloon telescope.
	• All mirrors were made of glass. Attempted to make a metal mirror but did not work well because polishing was not sufficient.  Have not been able to get good results.
	• Telescope project that was most challenging was was getting pictures of planets outside solar system because stars were always brighter and caused problems
	• Need very very stable optics to get good view of planets outside our solar system 
	• People may not understand you or accept you at first but in no way does that mean stop what your doing. No matter what stick with your idea no matter the criticism.
