Wow!!! What a cosmic convergence! I live in Springfield, Massachusetts. I passed through Springfield, Vermont just last night. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never been to Stellafane. Honestly, observing in the hot, humid skies of the New England Summer isn't the greatest, especially with the light pollution and the dew problem. Heck, one night's worth of dew in New England would probably be enough to submerge Antelope Island....hehe. Regardless, Stellafane is an event you surely need to attend someday! -Rich On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 3:35 PM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
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
