Hi Eric,
Great to hear you got the information pack. As mentioned, I did receive one
of the newer DVD's that includes the 18 UC but it was good you were able
to watch it on YouTube.

Quite neat to watch the "home video" style. Nothing hidden here, no slick sales pitch. Just a detailed demonstration of the construction, assembly and mechanicals - plus ServoCAT and Argo Navis description/demos.

Dave likes it that way. Just raw. I think he pre-dates a style now made popular
with reality television. He doesn't even tell you he will film you. He just pulls
out a camera and says "start talking" !
By the way, if you have never picked up a copy of the book he co-authored
with Richard Berry, "The Dobsonian Telescope", it makes an excellent read
and a fabulous reference.

I'm particularly impressed that Sheryl Johnson can collimate her 20" with the primary mirror cover still in place, but maybe I'm missing something here

So use to it, she can probably collimate with her eyes closed.
Best Regards
