This all started because I was concerned about a web site linked to from

You have the typical "holyer than thou" attitude. No one forced that female
to do that. SHE IS A WILLING
MODEL and gets paid for it. Now why or how they chose astronomy and a
MeadeLX to show off I don't
know, but I woud think the Meade corporation should have something to say
about it. I highly suggest someone
send that link to the Meade corporation and show them what some are doing
with their products.


Thanks for the suggestion Michael. I doubt there is little Meade could do
about this use of their product but then again you never know. As too your
other points.: We can only hope the model is willing (I can't imagine that
being the case I simply can't imagine a woman would debase herself as this
one is doing without some sort of threat behind it all).
As for getting paid: Not everything that pays money is worth doing my
friend.
