Thanks John,
it's fun reminiscing. My first scope was a N5, then aperture fever to a
NexStar8, then a 6" MN-61 Mak-Newt, and now a 4" TV NP-101.

Lately they've been getting smaller, and more expensive. I still have the
last 3, but the N5 was still, in its way, the most fun. Not least
because a people like yourself helping us newbies out.

The site has not been updated in a LONG time and there are undoubtedly
broken internal and external links. And that's just the good news.
Much is broken by modern browser implementations [Translation:
Standards, who needs standards?]

I have no plans to update the site, and no plans to fix what's broken.
It's effectively a ghost site, but free of anything terribly
controversial, and arguably much of value. Still, some might find
something of interest or value. Thus its return.

You'll find my email address on the site. It hasn't worked in years --
don't use it, unless you just want to bother Steve Case and his mail
servers.

There are many hundreds of pages, many hundreds of images, and a lot of
wonderful contributions by others. There's also a lot of junk -- my
fault entirely.

This same host deleted the site without notice some time back.

Hi John, I remember the site fondly! I even contributed 4 moon shots and
a Jupiter shot. For some reason all 5 shots show the same moon shot
now though. I still have my N5 too. My email and web site has changed too.
Thanks for doing the site.
