...the ETX is Polly. There is a Mythological reference to that one. Any
takers?
Ok Telrad, I'll bite....
Is it short for Polyphehmus AKA Cyclops?
Here is a photo of an eyepiece KPNO made especially for his visit back in

Frank,
I've named darn near everything I've owned since I was a kid. I've driver
cars named Maude, Mabel, Sylvester & Walter. I've Flown a plane I referred
to as Amelia. Gert is actually one of less odd names I've come up with. BTW
the ETX is Polly. There is a Mythological reference to that one. Any takers?
