John Dobson is a legend - the father of dobsonian relectors. I have made a scope based on his design too.

The narrator states that Sir Isaac Newton designed his reflecting telescope in 1704, but this is an error.
Newton actually produced the first of his reflectors in 1668, before finally presenting it to the Royal Society in 1672.

Yes, you're right about Galileo, but I think there were even earlier made telescopes than 1608

Galileo wasn't the inventer of the refractor like the video suggests at 02:50. The first refractors were made in the Netherlands in 1608. Galileo made his after hearing about the invention.
