Hi Gary,
It was at NACAA, Easter 2004. Good to hear from you again.
I well remember your presentation and looking seriously looking at an Argo Navis for my then 10" Meade SCT, but I ended up selling the scope and buying something smaller and more portable - 6" Intes Makustov.
Now I miss the light gathering power of the 10" and have decided to sell the Intes and buy a 12" Dob. to tide me over until I retire and can afford a 12" or 14" LX90 or, if I can afford it (Read: If the wife will let me), an LX200 SCT.
Trouble is that I now can't stop myself from looking at drive systems for the Dob. – Astronomers are never satisfied.
I would not have thought that those images by Johannes Brachtendorf, were possible with a Dob. Wow.
Regards
Paul.
