I have to start re-building my rocker box to accomodate the encoders for the digital setting circles and the dob driver. Anyone know where I cant get 1/16" aluminum sheet, 24" in diameter for the ground board of my scope for the surface so the azimuth drive of the dob driver can run properly?
I will be ordering both units after Stellafane next weekend. I am really anxious to be able to start doing some really great observing with these new tools. And possibly explore CCD imaging. I will need to get a cheap laptop for the software to run the GOTO...oops I said a dirty four letter word...
But all kidding aside, I cant wait. Darn, where are the clear crisp skies of yore? Dave

Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2001 19:23:14 EDT Hi Everyone, Although it's much too soon to give up hope, it isn't looking good for FDO tomorrow night. Clouds, thunderstorms likely - all that nasty stuff, just like last weekend. :o(. But I hope that the dire forecasts floating around for most of this week haven't caused anyone to change plans for Saturday night. The updated forecasts, as of a few minutes ago, are looking much better! Partly cloudy and more comfortable, they say. So there may yet be some public viewing and even some Perseid meteor shower watching down at FDO this weekend. :o) Stay tuned!
