Jim this is really a stunner! Where did you find it? I'd love to get it in better than 400x400 res. The bottom relief on the ocean is one of several...
Jim, I cannot say whether the photo is a fake, but it cannot have been made on the last Columbia mission! Proof: Note that Norway and Spain are in late...
I'll try to track down a reference to the photo. I also noticed that the shadow pattern indicated summer, but I didn't look up to see when the last mission...

I've asked our resident Starfinder/AutoStar software guru, Dick Seymour, if there is any difference in the tracking routines between the two controllers. Stay...
Al, The second tab of the NewtonianReflectors-2003.01.31.xls spreadsheet in the "Files" area in a folder called "4.5" Comparison Table" shows the features of...
Well, here's the word from Dick. Straight from the Guhru's mouth: "Hi... The 497 does have the benefit of 3 additional years of patches and twiddles. Meade...
Jim, Thanks for getting the scoop. As I thought about it, I overdue for a motor calibration and re-training. I'll start there and hold off on the controller...
