    Tips' Televue chair is a nontrivial item. Made a big impression on me
    when introduced to it up at Coe one dark night. I'm still convinced
    it would make a superb marital aid, so glad Tips is bringing it to
    the party for show and tell.

    ...goes to show you just can't proofread enough. On the way home from
    work it hit me that I said "once and former Peak." Of course I meant
    "once and future Peak." <expanding grin>

    Just spent some pleasant time going thru Tirion and Skiff's Bright
    Star Atlas, first atlas I ever bought, crosschecking objects. Sure
    enough there are some 3 dozen or so goodies I haven't yet seen. Skiff
    is an OC expert and focuses on interesting ones there, including
    about 6 OC's with nebulosity that are new to me. Another real good
    starter atlas that'll last a good while.

    There is so much sky out there! Thanks to Gottlieb for the Lake
    Sonoma report, esp with PGC 32713, very far beyond zebra.
