Hi Al,
Tahsnks to all who has commented on the FSQ106 purchase. I realise that
ui either have to have someone buy it for me and ship it or I have to
travle to the States myself to pick one up. In the latter case I could
cvombine the trip with other astronomical activities and visit some
stors/observatories etc.... (but USA trips tens to get expencive) :)
take care and prey for some clear skies... it has been raining here for
nearly 6 weeks!
