Not good, not good at all! :-)

If everything goes as planned I might be going to NYC late September or early
October. Maybe you could tell George that I'll bring him another bottle if he
lets me in at Copernic observatory. :-)

Thanks!

The 201XT was a bit tricky to centre and focus the first time, but after I made
a parfocal reticle eyepiece it was no problem at all. Navigating through the
menus can also be quite a challenge, but nothing a little practice doesn't
solve. I have now sold the 201XT and upgraded to an SBIG STV, which I'm very
happy with!

I acquired the FS-60C (together with an Takahashi TG-SPII) as an ultraportable
setup for Solar eclipses and it's like. It's first real mission will be the TSE
in Australia on the December, 4th.
