Hey, all I have to do is not talk disparagingly about liver and onions. The rules don't state that I have to do take out... I should be able to make that date. Time doesnt matter as much.

February Liver & Onions Subcommittee meeting
by Chuck Hards 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

I've got Feb. 16th through the 19th off so I'm thinking either Friday the 17th or Saturday the 18th. If those dates don't work for everyone, what day does? Bring an astro doo-dad, widget, thingamabob, or whatsit for show-and-tell, if desired. Gizmos are acceptable too.

New Meade Multi-Mount
by D P Pierce 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Chuck, More than once I've seen Meade advertise some new wiz bang as being available but nobody could get them for 1-2 years and at least once never! The 6" spherical mirrors that Bill Kelley sold in his tweaked mirror scope kits had been made for a scope Meade advertised as being available but never was because they couldn't get the corrector plates for the cheap price they had planned on. I think Bill paid $30 each for the 6" mirrors at RTMC. He thought they were parabolic when he bought them so had to come up with the tweaked innovation to make them work! I called Bill the McGiver of telescope making. Deloy

This looks an awful lot like that model. Did Meade do a run-around and buy up I-Optron the way they took over Coronado??? John R. Peterson

OT: A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away...
by Chuck Hards 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

I recently discovered that I am listed on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), for artistic work I did for network TV over 30 years ago. Those of you who know my real name can look me up. :-) Guess I should send them a photo and short bio to round-out the listing. I also found at least one You Tube video (so far) of work that I did. Search for "Fire Whales", lol. Kinda cool to discover, all these years later.
