Astronomy Equipment

This page is a stub, which I’ll organize on spare cloudy nights. Or not. For now, I anticipate having sub-pages along these lines:

  1. Hi Richard, many thanks for sharing all of this information. And, I don’t yet see a link to the light box article you wrote that I found by direct Google search. (I have the link, you just might have some “lost” items on the site that are harder to find than you might want. My son is starting to design a light box. And yours is rather interesting.)
