>I thought it might be fun to have an ATM/Gadget discussion.? Other than a
telescope,
what have you built to aid or improve your night out observing?
    
 
         I picked up a nice music stand and a couple Photon lights. Paul
Alsing hooked me up with the photon lights and they work great. They come
with a little alligator clip with a built in ball head so you can point it
any direction. I can adjust the brightness in many tiny increments so its
never too bright. Great for reading charts/dss sheets with the music stand.
Right now for the first time ever I am loading my computer with the XP4 boot
flash deal, This way I can upload Sky Commander with other catalogs. If this
works like I suspect it will, I'll be a happy dude.
 
Fingers crossed... GML
