Great! I propose a poll be made up to include the following names: 1- OAFS 2- AMASOT 3- STARRY KNIGHTS If I forgot one you like, counter-propose soon! ( I slightly prefer OAFS at this

Thanks for this Mike. I am not 100 % sure about the focusing questions, but enough to know that it will probably lead to a hassle at the eyepiece. I have enough problem with focus shift on the C-8

time, I think you mean the "Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics". Its certainly much easier to understand than that collapsing-wavefunction cophenagen-interpretation stuff. It's
