While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Hi Ralph,

Time well spent! Nice image in such a short time
span..

I also have noticed that I do not have to refocus
unless there is a very large temp swing. My mirror has
never flopped during an image set and the goto always
nails the object on my dinky cb245 chip. this is after
over 200 hrs of operation since last fall!

Mike
