During Comet West's apparition, I had a near-death experience when a borrowed Nikon F1 fell off my 8" Newtonain, where I was using it for piggy-back shots. It and it's lens suffered severe damage, falling on the rocks and snow at Little Mountain. Fortunately, the owner didn't kill me (I was just a teen-ager and he was a professional photographer). _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
