...thanks Bud and Brian.

I apologize for a mistake:
gassendi is not gassendi,...I mean actually gassende IS gassendi, but this image of mine does not show gassendi but Posidonius...(((-:

well,...out of practice...

Dear Dietmar,

I regret to inform you that it is most unfortunate that you have violated my personal policy of having an apo refractor of an aperture greater than my own Tak TOA 130. Therfore, I declare that you must render the scope to me for adjudication. Please send the 9" TMB refractor to me at once (email me privately for my mailing address). If I find your TMB to perform at a standard less than my TOA 130, I shall return it immediately. If however, it performs substantially better than my TOA 103, it shall be relegated to my personal collection for further evaluation.


All humor aside, your lunar images are quite good and I'm very jealous. Keep up the great work.

Sincerely,

[stargazer]

cos THEN, as a surgeon, I would have to "treat" You with my microsurgical equipment,...(((-:

in order to give You an idea what that means, ... here is a foto of a person, who had the same idea like You and who took this pic of me right before I started to treat him,...(((-:
