I'll be in the machine shop tomorrow (most of the day) and the air
conditioner is cranking right now to make it long sleeved weather inside.
Call me if you need to use anything.

Nah, we just get to take credit for ending the drought, fire season, bark
beetle infestations and anything else that the monsoon rains will heal...
On the flip side if it rains your "flaming frogs" then we had better find a
rock to hide under....
On your "piggyback" deal, give me the tube diameter of your scope where the
piggyback mount goes and I'll see if I can reshape your old one to fit
(drill it, mill it flat and whatever else). Still $1 back to you....

Jimmy;
I have no plans, now or future, to start taking DSLR images through my
scope. I DO have plans to use it piggybacked on the ED 80 and the new
Sirius mount I have. I love wide field photos of the sky. =20
I have used all my "astro bucks" up for right now. So, I will not be in =
the
market for my DSLR camera for some months. But I look forward to seeing
some of your shots at the next meeting. Yea sure, the monsoons started
tonight and probably will quit for Thanksgiving. Teach us to buy new =
stuff.
Holding out hope;
Steve Coe
