Re: [APML] Objects to photograph next week at TSP

["Phillip Jones" <starfest@comcast.net>]

Hi Bill,

Yeah...I'm looking forward to returning to TSP. I've been three times
before, but this will be my first TSP where I'll be able to take serious
film images since I'll have an autoguider, which will allow me to take 60 to
90 minute exposures.

I first used my autoguider at Okie Tex last Fall and found that while a 60
minute exposure was running, I was free to roam and look through other
people's big dobs and binos. I look forward to doing the same thing at TSP.
I'll try to find you...I'll be hanging out with the Dallas folk.

-Phil
