Hi Bill,
I live in Grantham in the UK (WhereSir Isaac Newton went to school so it
really is the centrre of the Newtonian Universe!)
I am interested to have any other comments that you might like to make
about the Desert Storm covers as I am about to fax to Pocono an order four
bags for my friends and I. Betwen us we have three 10" SCTs and one Genesis
on a Gibraltar Mount.
Let mne know how you found the quality in general or any pitfalls, can one
buy better?
