[ATM] ATM: Snapshot of 1st Ritchey Chretien Reflector

["David Harbour" <scarab2@cox.net>]

Hey, guys and gals-

I fpound a really nice historic picture that shows two guys (Gee Dubbya
Ritchey and Henri Chretien), playing with their new toy, a very elegantly
fashioned one half meter aperture Ritchey Chretiain Cassegrain reflector.
Wow the tube is short!

So I struggled with my two recalcitrant cyber machines to whittle it down
from a 5.5 Meg Tif to a reasonable 48 kilobyte jpg. Any of you guys want it,
I think you can handle a 48 kb download.

By the way, I did not use any kind of graphics editing program to change it
(no detail lost in the image in the change) but a program most of you have
on your machine. Just a little trick I discovered; is reallly handy. I have
an email explaining to my neice how to use it, do the the trick, if any of
you would like to have that, too. Works better than "Paint".

Picture available-
beautiful instrument-
Dave
