Jay, I do think it would be a fun family project to fix it up, but I think 15 students could use it more. I say give the scope to Jay. Ann and I have already spoken, and if she doesn't see this, I'll just pass it on to you Jay. I hope the students enjoy it and have fun looking at the stars.

If Troy changes his mind . . . I know a group of about 15 students that would love to refurbish it and use it.

My neighbor county commissioner gave me his Edmond Scientific (?) 5' reflector. He thinks it is about 35-40 years old. It needs a bit of work (broken tripod), but the mirror looks to be in fine shape. Are there any takers? Would it be a good loaner for SLAS members?
