I met with Steve Fisher today and he has the VHS tape. He should be uploading the program within a few days on youtube. Hope others who view it might recognize other people. I swear the back of the head as seen in the airplane cabin is Bob Brundidge. Also, it is Cindy Dodds formerly Raetz and it is not Alpine Stringham and now the true identity escapes me. The time lapse at the very end of the tape shows Venus not Jupiter (duh) and you should stay through to the end to see that. It was very well done. Special note to Steve – It was a real pleasure to meet you. I look forward to comparing refractors in the future, but, just to let you down easy, my refractor is best Also, I did a google search for Brian Ottum at home and got a different listing. Apparently there is a Brian Ottum who is a member of the”low-brow astronomers” in Michigan (where the Brian Ottum you found works). There was no e-mail address for Brian, but I did find one for the club president, so I am e-mailing him. This Brian is very active in amateur astronomy, so I am pretty convinced that I found him (so easy – thank you internet). Joan
Can't wait, Joan.

If you believe the same "wise man" that I often quote. The best scope is the one that gets used most! I'm thinking that would be my 6" f/12. Although a refractor created in 1915 has probably had the most use over all. I'm also aware of a 200mm Brandt that gets used very often somewhere nearby. (waiting for Patrick here)Steve

If we don't limit it to refractors, I know of a 350mm S/C that's been used on 97 nights so far this year. Which tells me over half the nights this year have been cloudy. Depressing. patrick
Another country heard from. ;)
