Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the ap-gto group: Which catalog(s) currently available in the keypad would you delete since they do not meet your needs and/or interests?

Me too as far as Arp and Abell .... hhmmm, poll time .... give me a few minutes. :-) Anthony.

This is a GREAT addition since we can now slew to zenith for focusing and then right back to our target. Good stuff!!!! Just a suggestion: it would be really neat if we can add our own catalog in

Howard -- The new bookmark feature sounds great. As far as the catalogs go, I'd love to see Arp, Hickson's, the Abell PNs, and the rest of the ADS catalog. Palomar might be cool too, but I can't

Hi Harold, I'm not Marj, but I'm pretty familiar with the v.4.20 firmware project and am personally beta testing the firmware. There are several nice additions to the already impressive

It may not even be in the January issue. Most magazines have to have their copy to the printer at least a couple of months before the publish date. Bottom line: only the web is capable of

If I were in their line of work, I would maintain a continual liaison with major product manufacturers, so I would have a heads up, (with a non disclosure agreement), and be prepared with an

Marj, Any hints on what 4.2 will include? Harold

Joe: the 3600 was kept a secret til the morning of AIC ... let's be reasonable here. If AP wanted to keep it a secret and announce it at AIC, do you think diCicco and Walker should have mounted a

Please respond off list. Thanks Tom Sings with the Stars

Dean, One final S&T criticism before I stop (my off topic rant). I too complained to the editor that it was really dumb on the part of their new owners, to make the magazine changes in mid year.

I e-mail and raised all sorts of fuss when my first issue came with the cheaper binding. Really cheapens the magazine, and like you said, not having the spline means we can't easily reference older

Hi Dean, That is one thing that has always really bugged me about S&T magazine - now, recently another, that they have gone back to stapling, and you can't find an old issue since there is no
