Mat, I'm going to be at the Winchester Park sun party until at least noon, then I may head over to your place if my wife doesn't have other plans for me. If I miss you this month, I'll catch you next time. I just finished my tandem mounting plate for my small GEM, that allows me to attach both the PST double-stack and a white-light (Baader) scope side-by-side on the same mount. I'm tweaking it after work this week and will put it through it's shakedown cruise on Saturday morning. For the white-light scope, I have my choice of either a home-made 50mm f/9 or 80mm f/5 refractor. The 80mm has a 2" focuser and Thousand Oaks glass filter but I may put together a Baader filter for it as well, since I prefer the view in Baader over glass. Much better contrast.

Howdy all;
Just a quick reminder that the next ATM session is this Saturday (4/27/13) from 09:00 until 14:00 in my garage. Immediately following the ATM session, a planning meeting for the 2013 Utah Star Party will take place.
