Mr. Reed: I just wanted to thank you for this exceptionally clear and concise explanation of 'how its done.' I've read some of your posts from CloudyNights, which got me here. As a 'visual person' this is a very, very clear and concise account for those of us aspiring to do something similar (AP that is). Your astro photos are wonderful, as well. --Doug Moench
