[AZ-Observing] Re: Eagle Eye this past Sat.

I know it's late responding to this thread - just can't check e-mail at work
that is received at home - but; I've know about the Osypowski platforms for a
long time and have never know of one to give troubles.  After having discussed
other versions with Tom Polakis the O-mount (as I call it) is where I should
have been in the first place.  Since then however there seems to be other
products on the market that don't cost as much but you have to do some of the
finishing work yourself.  Which is what I was looking for but good, unfinished
platforms just weren't available back then.

Although the Sky Commander is very popular and the best for my personal setup,
there are others on the market that are just as good.  The differences being in
menu selections and display content.

Enough carrying on; let the monsoons begin and we can party in the rain!
