Great news on the 12.5" ...an extra 0.5" over me now..?.. humf!

Hehe, yeah for sure you'll be left in the dust Mike, that 0.5" will give certainly me the edge. You'll probably notice the stars fading the very moment I point my mighty new photon grabber towards the skies.

Nah, but I'm certainly hooked on mega data, and I'll definitely try a similar project once I get the new scope ready. It's exciting to watch the data accumulate night after night, it was really quite addictive.
