ATM *RTMC Report*

RTMC report.

So there I was admiring the new 11" f/9 Astrophysics refractor
on their new alt-az mount complete with image rotator for 4x5 
inch film, and all in their new royal green and brass colors!
It was beautifull!!

I also checked out K&R Optical's new Houghton Telescope series
made up of three new scopes. The 7", 10", and 13" Houghtons
with traditional black and white instrument coloration and
were mounted both as OTA's and on gorgeous looking German
EQ mounts. These scopes were real performers!

I also managed to pick up a set of 9,12,16,20 Naglers, and
a 15 and 35 panoptic in a case for $300. I then spotted a 
7" Questar on a swap table for $200. As I ran towards this
great deal I found myself in bed, legs thrashing, and my
wife telling me that I was running in my sleep again.
RTMC was so cool in my dreams! Why did I have to wake up?

I'm going for real next year.

out on.
