Hey guys.
Thanks for the nice comments. This is the culmination of a hobby that started in 1967 when I was 7, and I got a Tasco 25mm slide focus scope on a tiny tripod about 20cm high for my birthday. I also firmly beleive that the privelage of owning such an instrument obliges me to actually DO something constructive with it and contribute to the scientific knowledge base by, hopefully, discovering a new comet, asteroid, supernova or two, or whatever else I may be capable of doing in the future. It gives me a plan so to speak.
