Hi Robert,

I think you deserve more than you give yourself credit. How much of our
advancement in science was the result of disproving a theory. The earth
might still be revolving around the sun and the earth might still be
flat. I applaud you initiative in trying to find an answer to a very
complex problem. I have yet to observe anything from this scope yet but
hope to someday. I did have the opportunity to see it at the AAAP
meeting in March or April. I understand that the location of the scope
may be moved. Perhaps if this is true, in the plans for the relocation,
vibration might be considered.
