I *always* intended to go "some day". Now it appears that is no longer possible. But, as Chuck mentioned ATMing still alive and becoming more sophisticated. I know Mel Bartels is building big Zip Dobs that are f3.0 and faster. Also, I've seen a couple different spectroscopes (LowSpec2) that are being produced using 3D printers. So amateurs are alive and well - just getting older. Clear skies, Dale. On Wed, Oct 16, 2019 at 11:28 AM Joe Bauman via Utah-Astronomy < utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
