Donnie,
I don't think you need to apologize. Yes these forums are about telescopes & Astronomy but they are also about people and friendships. Once in a while using this forum to address some aspect of our humanity with members here who share the same passion should not constitute violating a rule. I think it is all about degree. Initial contact and then PM for further.

You'll notice that, so far, I've made the usual mods. There's the Williams Optic diagonal and the Focus Knobs 2' brassies. But for scale, you can see how tall the scope can go (I'm over 6'2")

I don't want to stand beside Tim's scope.
I am only standing at 5'9 and surly this setup will make me look like a dwarf

Tim,
Thats a great photo and a very nice grab and go scope. Now what are you going to get for your main larger observing scope?

Here is my version of that setup:
It is an older photo, I will post a newer one with the current upgrades soon.

Dan,
Heaven forbid I make mention of my D-o-b in this forum, but learning the nuances of a GEM that tracks has whetted my appetite for imaging. I'd like to go for a TMB 115 (or the like) on a solid mount someday. By the time I can afford it, I would think that innovations will make CCD imaging more affordable and sturdy. Reliable imaging mounts should also come down a bit.

That is from the WITHAI star party - at my parents house (way off in the woods). Thanks Harley.

So is my memory right or wrong?
Scott, you gotta let me know....I did an IQ test before and my score is only at 85pt and the test shows I am very stinky on short-term memory.
If you tell me I am right....I will be happy
If not....then....I don't want to live anymore
