[AZ-Observing] Re: Local PHX source for red light control film

Dan's essay is pretty interesting, for anyone who has not yet visited 
the PhotoMark store.
A slight correction from the DFAC web pages.  According to the PhotoMark 
web page,
http://www.photomark.com/
They are located at 2202 E. McDowell, on the North side of McDowell, 
between the 51 Freeway (East of) and 24th Street.
They have been at that same location and I have traded with them for 
many, many years.
They are principally a full-service photographic/camera shop, with a 
separate camera repair business, and a full-service photo processing 
shop right next door.
They cater to the more advanced and professional photo imager.

Also, Photon Instruments Ltd. has been in business in Mesa for more than 
5 years...

They are a full-service, well-stocked telescope equipment dealer and 
repair shop.

Before relocating to Mesa, Arizona, they operated a well-known telescope

going on 50 years of service.
