Hi Milton, I`m sorry if you`re recieving duplicate messages from me. I have a Mobile Me address & a .Mac address now & the former is top of the list & I often forget to select the right one for my Yahoo membership! I have a niece modelling in LA who`s willing to mail me some of these items difficult to obtain here. I`m told the helical focuser can be used by loosening the set-screw for focusing then re-tightening. At least the price is OK at present! Mark.

Hi Folks;

Turbulence was pretty bad last night, but it was finally clear skies

and warm too.

I did a quick LRGB shot of M42 with the PGR Grasshopper camera:
