I must have just pushed the film past its limits. Nothing else showed
any red. I had the girl in the camera store work on getting rid of the
red and it looks like she did well enough to where I'm having it blown
up. 

Yeah, friday was great all night.

I know, I still think about that and how it blew away all the Mars
hoopla.

My Tv-85 is for sale now on astromart, along with everything that goes
with it. I think Dave will buy the GM-8. The whole rig will be
different by spring. I need a longer guiding focal length, so the
guidescope and rings will go too. Looks like the FS-102 is in my
future, unless I'm willing to do without a small scope for a year or so
and save a little for a FSQ-106. Cindy gets top priority now for her
dob and mirror so anything I do must be financed from the sale of my
existing equipment. It's tough sometimes having a spouse infected with
"aperture fever". :-)

Thanks, for the help,
Alan
