AS&T March 06, Hot off the Press.
Wow another great issue just arrived at my door step.
Quick flick through, looks like some great stuff.
-Review of Celestron's new 8" SCT setup.
-Caring for your optics.
Just to whet your appetite
And wait till you see what some guys did with their concrete mixer.....good one boys.
