RE: [ATM] Re: OSLO evaluation graphs of 8" Stevick-Paul telescope
It is unfortunate with the demise of Sinclair that Oslo has been cut back to
10 surfaces on their student program, and now Lt has been replaced by the
Edu version which has even less available. The difference between amateur
and professional is that one does something just as well without payment as
the other who does get paid. It is sad that the price of software is out of
the range of most amateurs, in particular the younger ones who through
desire and inspiration look to the future. If you are following this list
you will find many dedicated individuals struggling in their pursuit because
the price of their hobby is (for give the pun )astronomical. Don't loose
sight of the next generation or the amateur astronomer whose contribution to
the field is beyond price.

We host other peoples works. I will forward this to our list and if
there are any users interested, they can contact you directly. The
amateur telescope making community is by and large a friendly group, and
I know some have used the OSLO software to model telescope designs. If
some one does a design and wishes to share it, we will put up the file
for others to look at. Saves duplication of effort. The range of
expertise is from complete novice to NASA and folks at the mirror lab at
Arizona State.
OK list. If you recognize yourself from this, or would be interested in
talking to the fine folks at Lambda Research Corporation, now is your
chance. This came to the moderators list. They are seeking a specific
individual, but..... ;-)
