Chuck,
The magic of the world wide web. I was on this web page until SLAS moved our gallery (dead link now), it is very good if anyone is looking for ideas designing an observatory. http://obs.nineplanets.org/obs/obslist.html Me thinks the only SLAS member to have gone to Stellafane is Charlie Green. I've been to the Winter Star Party in Florida, Texas Star Party, and Riverside, they are always worthwhile. Erik While I was looking for references to the manual Dob setting circles I
rememer seeing, I found a link to my Woodshop design on the Stellafane site!

Way down, under "Dobs and Other Alt-Az Mounts", we find a link to "Woodshop Scope plans by Chuck"
I'll be darned! I've never even been to Stellafane, but hope to make it before I die. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
