No, but while we're on the subject there's a 36" Schmidt up in Canada
that is looking for a home.  Includes mount & film molding equipment.
They were asking for money but would be willing to donate it on the
condition that it gets _used_.  Unfortunately I could not convince 
anyone locally to be interested in the upkeep ("what is the use of a
telescope that you can't look through?")
