I finally got around to processing out all of the color images from the other night. Took a good 4 hours to get this put together. The animation shows 38 minutes of rotation:

I've read good things on the Orion ED80.
Jay, I own both Orion ED scopes, the 80mm and 100mm. Color correction is outstanding on both. Both fit on my "Weightless" mount and are perfect backyard scopes.
Jim Gibson used the 80mm ED on his own Weightless mount and used to have pics posted on the SLAS website. Not sure if they are still there.
The only weakness is the focuser. I've replaced mine with 2-speed GSO (same as Antares) focusers, although Orion now offers their own 2-speed upgrade. It does add to the cost, however.

Hi Chuck, I can't speak to the loaner program as that is Roger's territory.
Roger replied off-list, thanks.
As a heads-up, he stated that the club can always use eyepieces for the loaner program since some of them never find their way home.

I'm going to Dwight's service with Scott Crosby. Scott will be saying some words at it. Is anybody else going?

I wish I could be there but I'll be at my new home (Tropic/Bryce Canyon NP) and unable to go. For what it's worth, Dwight was probably closer to many of his SLAS friends than he was to his own family, excepting perhaps Tina. Keep that in mind.
Erik, I wondered about the Iraq service, too. Does anyone know? Did he serve in Desert Storm?
