My apologies for the delay. It's been one heckuva "holiday" season. My dear old friend of 40+ years passed away on Jan. 1 unexpectedly. That took a lot of wind out of my sails. I got married on Dec. 29th, a good thing, but it kept me out of the shop for a few days. My mom had some issues and needed my help during this same period, and then my daughter's car had to go to the shop for nearly a week, to the tun of some $1,400. Dad's Taxi Service was back in business, since she never could pick up the knack of driving a standard transmission (and I tried for a year to teach her- I think it was mostly a matter of lack of interest on her part) and thus couldn't borrow my Explorer (a 5-speed) while her little automatic was in the shop. The good news is that they are now coming off the final assembly line and will be in the hands of their owners next weekend, assuming they pass the final quality/optical inspection. I didn't test each objective individually when they arrived, so it's going to be a system test with everything assembled. I'll post a photo of the completed SunSpotter when I get home from work tonight. It really is a striking little scope. Thanks for your patience!
