Brian,
Is this wise?
Meade may not appreciate you distributing their catalogs without their
permission.
I am the author of the software that Don used to extract the catalogs
and I am in the process of making this program available to all
MAPUGers.

I am comfortable with doing this because the program is my work, and
it will only allow catalog access to those who already own them, ie
the owners of LX200 telescopes.

I wish to make it clear to all, that it was not my intention that the
LX200 catalogs be made freely available.

Regards
John Grylls
