Serious amateurs

Just came across this site:-

http://www.wro.org/

A bit of serious scope activity going on here:-

http://www.wro.org/scodova/31pictures.htm
http://www.wro.org/special/history.htm

And there is a stereo pair of M104 half way down this page - nice!

OK, now I see that Tammy Plotner is the President of the Richland Astronomical Society.

Every home needs one.

Nice
In the same vein, wondering if anyone has seen these series of vids from Dr Mario Motta on his mamoth project, 32" relay telescope and observatory incorporated into his house?

Think there's about 6 or so vids all up

Was just reading about the computing power of the lunar rover with a whopping 4Kb of Ram and a 74Kb Hard drive.

Thank God they didn't have windows in those days.
