Thanks for all the kind words, guys. The last few years of my old marraige really put a damper on my ATM activities, but it's renewed and stronger than ever in my new life with Kelly. She really supports the hobby and is even somewhat interested in science (she's an RN). The SunSpotter project kind of kicked-off everything last year. And I'm finally in a position at work where I can actually get some more frequent time-off, and attend SLAS meetings on a regular basis. Mark, your comment means a lot to me especially because you are a master craftsman yourself. Larry, you may sit in awe, I fully understand. ;-) Tyler, I most certainly will be coming to you for imaging advice when the time comes, thanks again for the insights! I've got several projects lined-up for this year, and not all are refractors. I am trying to get the 17.5" Newtonian to see first light this year (I've had the optics and most parts since 1986) along with some mid-size Newts and the solar prominence spectroscope. But next will probably be retrofitting my 6" f/8 "Woodshop" Dob with a 2" Wyoroc focuser. Stay tuned.
