I was at Starizona, an astronomy shop in Tucson Arizona, yesterday to pick up some accessories for a C8 I bought on Ebay recently. I noticed that they had these handy finder charts that showed where to align Telrad circles relative visible stars to end up with the object of interest centered. I thought this was clever and might be useful, so I bought the ones for Messier objects. At the store, I didn't really pay any attention to who the author was. Imagine my surprise, after I got home and finally noticed that the author was Brent Watson. Given that the address of the company was in Bountiful Utah, I assume that this is the same Brent Watson I knew from the Salt Lake Astronomical Society. Bill
