Just came across this site:-

A bit of serious scope activity going on here:-

And there is a stereo pair of M104 half way down this page - nice!

Nice :)
In the same vein, wondering if anyone has seen these series of vids from Dr Mario Motta on his mamoth project, 32" relay telescope and observatory incorporated into his house?

Was just reading about the computing power of the lunar rover with a whopping 4Kb of Ram and a 74Kb Hard drive. :eyepop:

Thank God they didn't have windows in those days. :lol:
