EPK --
I did finally get myself an OIII. Even better in that. (Not that much more definition, but considerably more contrast.)
Actually, I guess I got a zero-three filter. Whoever did the engraving for Lumicon didn't quite get it -- what should be the letter "O" on the side of the filter is clearly a zero.
(Read a bit of your bio on your EPK music site. I spent a summer in my youth as a research assistant at Brookhaven National Lab on Long Island. Never drove home naked, but after a similar evening I did flash the security guard at the entrance a banana instead of my ID. He didn't seem to notice.... On weekends we used to drive down to NYC and check out the punk bands at CBGB's.)
Cheers,
-- Jeff.

It's got worse from then, Jeyjey...haven't upgraded my site to include the past two years, which included touring with Alterbridge (ex-Creed), Whitesnake, Deep Purple, The Darkness, The Who and others...and meeting Jimmy Page, Slash, Lemmy, and Ozzy.
However, I just retired from music in June, after my 50th Birthday.
I gritted my teeth as I gave up the chance to be at the Royal Albert Hall tonight, seeing Paul Rodgers, and went out trying to see DSO's in vain in a washed out moonlit sky.
From now on, no rock n'roll, but more astronomy and scuba-diving.
