Re: [APML] New Scope/Software/Exp. Times?

["Bobby Middleton" <bobm@koyote.com>]

Hi Scott. I shoot 45 min at f/4.25.......that's probably too long and
when I'm back up with this scope I'm going to see what 30min does. So
he may be a bit long with 1 hour at f/4.5 but he probably took
these from a pretty dark site. These scopes are (were? is Peter still
producing?)
made by Peter Ceravolo. I have never seen one but they are highly spken of.
He was active on the list at one time.
