My Mediaone connection is fast and wonderful. I put a UNIX box in as the
interface. This hosts the WEB server for my site. It was this server that was
having problems the other day. I have a network in my house as well along with a 24
port network hub. I run with one laptop by the telescope. This is connected to the
net so I can grab the images as they are collected and process them (and get them to
the web). All in all very neat stuff.

Thanks for the complements on the picture. I do not think I have ever seen a CCD
night shot with the horizon in the picture.
