We are the Springfield Telescope Makers, an active Amateur Astronomy and Telescope Making club located in Springfield, Vermont. We put on the annual Stellafane Convention  in July or August, hold mirror making classes in the Fall and Winter, and usually hold a few Public Star Parties each year. Founded by Russell W. Porter in 1923, and considered by many to be the "Birthplace of Amateur Telescope Making", we have a rich history.
