Uh, correct me if I am wrong, but don't we use equipment to observe? I for one am very interested in web cam type stuff, and welcome posts like yours. It is true that this is not a group dedicated to equipment, but I think that relevant topics as they arise have a place here. Observing equipment discussions seem appropriate to me, within reason. Anyone who has subscribed to az observing for any length of time knows that there is a lot of comradeship and often obtuse subject matter (Arizona nebula, sorry group, that one was mine) presented here. Stan, I see no apology necessary.

If I have transgressed the line, my sincere apologies. However, I felt my initial post was helpful to everyone inside and outside of EVAC by providing additional information to those who were at the meeting, and by making everyone aware of this other aspect of Arizona observing who did not attend or are not EVAC members. In fact, Tom did provide a positive in-depth response to my message to which I additionally responded, but I retract everything if my post(s) was(were) inappropriate.
