Astronomy Anyone?

[Barry Santini]

. I assumed that would work, but the axis problem is one I wondered bout, but I suppose you could just turn the eyepiece until it cleared up.

Yes..that's exactly what we recommend!

I think the Stellarium works on your Macintosh.

And, hey, it's not little Billy Gates . . it's the consumer. Both computer products do essentially the same thing, it's just that some do it better.

How many banks, insurance companies or fortune 500 companies run their businesses on a Macintosh framework?

I have a very good friend who lives in Rio Rico/Tubac. At night, the only man made lights seen from his home are the lights at Kitt. He is in the middle of 17,000 acres of nothing. It's starkly beautiful there but somewhat spooky. We will be visiting him in mid March.
