Maybe this topic can deflect our attention from web lists back to
navigation.
Before I purchased my sail boat and got interested in celestial navigation,
I was interested in astronomy.
I currently have a 14' Meade SCT. I have my scope set up in a permanent
observatory that has a roll
off roof. I wonder how many of the list participant are also into
astronomy? In addition was it astronomy that got you interested
in Cel Nav or was it Cel nav that got you interested in astronomy?
It is not the intent of these questions to detract from the core purpose of
this
group, however there is a strong link.
Thank you.
Guy
PS Whatever list this group winds up on, I would like to express my
gratitude
for the many in-depth answers I have received.
Thanks again.
