Dear BVAC, I finally was in town long enough to pick up the telescope that Dennis Allen built. You may recall that at the last meeting of the BVAC, we voted...
Hi Mark It sounds like this is a very nice acquisition. The purchase of this scope sure has put our loaner program in high gear. For the balance issue, I...
Mark, That's an excellent report - thank you for taking the time to write it up. I agree with Derek that this light bucket should be kept at either your's,...
Mark, thanks for the report. I didn't make the meeting that decided to buy the scope, but it sure sounds like a heck of a deal. To all, I'd like to invite...
Folks, In the last episode I told y'all about a dandy accessory called "Chromacor" that screws into a regular 2 inch star diagonal and helps to correct the...

Short notice but if anyone would like to come out it looks like it may be nice once the temperature drops below 95! I am going to work on my last Messiers with...

Finally! Well, I had IMAGED most of them but I was not sure which had GOTO and which did not. So, some time back, I went through my images and logs and went...
