Thanks Marc,

Jack won't be in until Monday so it looks like I am in for another delay.
I'm sure having my share of problems getting the new CEG up an running.

What is your opinion of the 2.5X telecompressor lens on the ST-4?  Do you
notice that the star images are very much improved with its use?
