iCongratulations! Joe

I'm pretty sure that refractor belonged to Brian Page.  He brought 3 scopes 
to the ALL AZ 2001 including an Orion 4.7" refractor with a Chromacor.

Newly published is "The Night Sky Companion: A Yearly Guide to Sky-Watching 
2008-2009" by Tammy Plotner:

  I took the cover photo of Rick Scott silhouetted at his C-8 at Vekol Road 
a few years ago:

  Here's the unmodified cover photo on my web site:

  (Notice they moved Venus for the book cover!)

  Also, this photo I took of someone's refractor at the 2001 All-Arizona 
Star Party is the frontispiece of the book
