"Staring into the void at Mars, lunar craters, the rings of Saturn and Jupiter's moons has real impact when you know that you are actually looking at these objects, right now. Suddenly it's very real, in a way that a photo can't match."
$40k for a Planewave CDK12.5 . . . hmm I dont think thats correct.
Unless its coupled with a Paramount, chilled astrocamera etc
yeah i saw that too, Bintel have a used 12.5 on sale for $26K with a Titan mount and a few bits and pieces (a while back i tried to get them to split it and sell just the PW so i could put it on my PMX but they didnt go for it), maybe someone told him that it was $40K new and he ran with it.
I am Proud to say John Power is one of our CWAS members out at Parkes. John is now on a slow recovery from Major Heart surgery before Christmas - John's other Claim to fame is he is a well Known Musician Having Fronted with JOE JEO ZEP and the Falcon's Back in the 1980's - He still has many Music contacts in the Industry. I wish him Well. ---- Tony
