"Size doesn't mean a thing" said my first wife. But then she never looked throught the clubs new 32" scope... ;) I'm gonna have to break down and buy a step ladder for this years star parties so that I can get above the crowd who will be lining up for a chance to peer through the new 32" scope. The view of Saturn tonight was spectacular. I haven't seen that many moons since my old High School yearbook. ;) I thought the finder scope was a nice touch. It's a camera hooked up to a monitor. Heck, I would be... did I just say heck? Anyway, I would be willing to bet that people will form a line just to view the monitor. Were it up to me I would have done something a little different for a finder. I would have mounted a fully loaded M-16 rifle on the scope loaded with tracers. The stream of tracers heading up into the night sky would have been a true crowd pleaser. ;) The view of M42 looked great. And that was just on the monitor. Siegfried and Chuck hogged the eyepiece at every chance. We got to see the comet. It too looked good on the monitor, though we're pretty sure it would have looked even better through the scope. ;) I have to say, I am really impressed with the job Steve Dodd and Bruce Grim did on the scope. I can't wait for warmer nights. It will make crowding around the monitor that much more enjoyable. ;) Guy
