The link works fine for me.

Fantastic picture!  One of the best I have seen illustrating meteor shower
radiants.

Tony, BTW, you have cursed my astrophotography!  Ever since I received your
old 105 mm Nikkor, I have been unable to complete any astrophotography.
Every outing has either been weathered out, pre-empted by some emergency, or
suffered equipment breakdown.  No kidding!  Even TSP with a week of
fantastic clear weather got zapped when my drive corrector turned into a
small stove.  I bought another one from a vendor at TSP and it blew up the
second I plugged it in.  Got my money back, but could not guide for all opf
TSP.  The clock drive works OK on 120v, so I think I just have bad luck
lately.

TSP turned out OK though.  Bob Summerfield had the Yard Scope set up next to
my tent, so I hooked up with him for visual work with the 36-inch.  The
skies were good enough at TSP this year that there were no lines around the
Yard Scope.  Everyone was looking through their own scope!  Can you believe
an old guidestar pusher like me actually got one of the Advanced Observing
pins at TSP.  Having a 36-inch scope to use kinda helps <g>.
