Re: [APML] OT: Nikon vs Canon DSLRs for Astrophotography

["Jim Vineyard" <deepskyphotos@hotmail.com>]

Ok Jerry,
  Here come the BLAZING FLAMES from Hell!!!
  It seems to me the List has a long established "tolerance" for "OT:" 
posts, which are even mentioned amongst the official rules.  Ya'll please 
continue above-board if you wish, please.  I've seen enough 10 Grand CCD 
posts here to put up with a few quality DSLR posts.  Just tell me we 
wouldn't all have a Canon 20Da kicking about in our equipment cases if they 
were only readily available and say around 400 bucks!
  Egads... I think I've just reduced "the entire APML and all of the film 
world" to a matter of economics.

No Signature Here, Just Lots and Lots of Brimstone


(BTW Jerry, I finally figured out how to get XP's little standard "Narrator" 
"Microsoft Sam" to read your CD book to me.  It's not perfect, but very nice 
to kick'on back in the recliner, throw an arm over the eyes, and just listen 
through a laptop's headphones.)
 <Ya start the book in regular old I.E. 6 load "Sam" up (he's an 
"accessibilty aid" you can optionally install) and press Ctrl+Shift+Space 
then go back and look at the pics after the page read.>
