[ATM] Oregon Star Party telescope walkabout

["Mel Bartels" <mbartels@bbastrodesigns.com>]

Finally managed to get my webpage with images from the walkabout up on the
web.

(warning, graphics will take a little time to download)

It's challenging, and I spend hours walking the field, discovering and
selecting the scopes for the walkabout.  I am pretty much limited to 5 maybe
6 scopes.  For the future, if you have a scope that has some interesting
ideas or something unique about it or something you want to share, or
something that you think others amateurs will benefit from hearing about,
please contact me at the early on at the star party, or even drop me an
email ahead of time.

I am so impressed when I look at the scopes at OSP over the years:
2003 Oregon Star Party walkabout
2002 Oregon Star Party walkabout
2001 Oregon Star Party walkabout
1999 Oregon Star Party walkabout
1998 Oregon Star Party walkabout

There was a time a few years ago when editorials announced the end of
telescope making.  Today, telescope making enjoys a renaissance.  I like to
think that the NW amateurs played a part in keeping TM alive and ushering in
the new age.
