Cheers, thanks for your response, Bill.

Interesting. So it's just for polar alignment? I seen some peeps with it on their dobby which confused the heck out of me wondering what it could be for!

I can see how it would be VERY useful for polar alignment. WOW! Didn't think of that but I've never aligned a polar scope.

Yeah I only saw the blood vessels on Jupiter and can't remember ever seeing them before. Apparently it's an explanation for the canals on Mars, but that is BS cos the vessels move around while the features on the planet stay still. The local astronomy club mag even showed a Hubble shot with the Lowellian markings on venus clearly visible and remarked at this. Cheers.

Ok i've blabbed on enough!
