Astronomers from My Neighborhood: Guzman documents the ingenuity of several local astronomy enthusiasts who have taken to building their own telescopes from scratch (down to and including creating the special mirrors themselves). These may be "amateurs," but they all -- one elderly gentleman in particular, who has designed a mini-observatory on his roof, including hydraulic chair for better access to the eyepiece and a working lavatory to obviate any need to rush downstairs and indoors -- demonstrate a resourcefulness, effort, and time commitment that few people bring to their hobbies.
