The 150-inch telescope on Siding Spring mountain in New South Wales, Australia, stands as a reminder of Fred Hoyle's genius in aspects of astronomy that surprise those who know him only as a theoretician, as one who did not himself use the telescopes that produced the all-important data for his theoretical work. This article shows another side of Fred's abilities that he could immerse himself in the techniques of telescope building, from mount to mirror, and overcome the many hurdles that had to be faced.
