[Kokatha man]

Nah....! as I said Brendan; I'm more the introvert type that spends time by myself or just with my partner or a few "guests" (where the extrovert in me gets a turn) - but think that public viewing nights and get-togethers with others to swap stories/ideas/experiences are great group therapy/socialization opportunities: I really must join the local ASSA............

Take your point though, as well as Erick's re annoying others. Incidently, I just purchased Bintel's last Lumicon bracket for aforementioned item: they're not re-stocking due to the hassles/red tape needed to permit them to sell "potentially dangerous" items - particularly from the perspective of Victorian legislation.

On a completely different note, I'll PM you Erick re chesire in the next couple of days: had a long yarn (aren't they allways!!!) with Don at Sydney Bintel this morning; he agrees that the (unreflected) view of the crosshairs in the Orion tool will not appear in focus during collimating - and with all due respect, I have far more faith in his knowledge here than another self-styled authority! (which isn't to cast a blanket aspersion on all of this other persons knowledge and/or experience) regards, Darryl.
