Re: ATM "more normal" scope pix

Search through the archives.  Nearly everyone on this list, and some
that are no longer, have posted pictures in the past.  Those pictures,
while not directly posted to the list, are referenced in URLs for web
sites.  Pictures of my scope have been available for two years.  In its
original configuration, I considered it a "normal" dobsonian.  

It has since evolved into a beast of a GEM.  Last night I added two
salvaged computer mice that interface with a laptop computer for digital
setting circles.  This is rapidly becoming a frontrunner for an ugly
scope contest! (IMNSHO)

You at least need a space you can raise some sawdust, a Circular Saw and
an Electric drill.  If you want to make circles, you'll need a jig saw
or router.  Thats it.  It might not be pretty, but it will work. 
Craftsmanship is a matter of patience, not speed.
