I will give it a try, and hopefully have some success. The hard part will be locating it in the first place, but if I can find it, I will show it.Pauliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282322838637098439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450988270244461662.post-15684101507481164732010-08-09T13:24:50.817-07:002010-08-09T13:24:50.817-07:00Presentation is everything.

I don't think I'll be showing it at any public functions though. In my little go-to it won't be impressive (not that it will show great in my Dob), and in the Dob it might be a lot of work keeping it aligned. I could be persuaded to show it a few times, if some experienced astronomers think it's worth the effort (hint, hint).Pauliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282322838637098439noreply@blogger.com
