The discussion is drifting into an argument again. Have any of you been to the observatory and seen the look on the faces of the younger set (and some oldies too) when they get to look in the eyepiece of an astronomical telescope and see craters on the Moon, the red spot on Jupiter and the rings of Saturn? They don't want a picture on the TV. They want to see the actual object through the telescope. Fred and Trevor know this, They have been there.
This is what it is all about. There are suitable telescopes that Geoff knows about that fulfil his requirements but he would like to see one in operation so he can set about obtaining one.
