Re: German friend
Ja, vy nott!
His name fills me with a sense of Von Der. With a name like that,
Johnny'd probably be great at remembering obscure names of
astronomical objects. Um... I don't wanna be fussy here

Re: Help needed....(yes, again :> )
You scope might or might not have a problem. We should check
at the next starparty.
But comparing to pictures will be confusing. What one sees in any
