Great Video Tony! I just got notified about my name being drawn for a 92 Stoaway! Just going through the store picking my mounting plates so I can fit it to my AP900GOTO. Also trying to decide on whet

Very well done! Gives the rest of us city imagers with severe light pollution something to strive for! Don

Great presentation Chris! Don Anderson
