I'm sure that there's other subjects that can also be worked in under the

Human Body Damage Assessment = Crash Test Dummies : not excluding
involun'try blood donation (see "vampires" below)

1)Standing up under dec counterweight. "Dogh?" "Ow?" "Booger"
2)Walking into refractor dewshield. "Arghh!" "Grr#?#!st!" "Booger!"
3)Dropping dec weight on cold tootsies. Much later: "Ooh!" "Ow!"
"Booger?"
4)Amateur Observatory door height testing without a helmet. "Booger!"

Self inflicted mental cruelty:

Dropping an APO!

Criminal activities: Selling APO's as a valid form of astronomical
instrumentation! (See also: Cost of same) "Booger!"

Not got an APO then Chris?

Colin.

The buggers took my wedge before they let me have the telescope.

Or, in the case of the Coronado PST, took my wedge and didn't let me
have the telescope.

(24 days, 18 hours to the transit and no sign of the PST: I see
Morton's fork approaching. If the PST arrives so will the clouds and
vice versa: If I catch one of you sods praying that the PST doesn't
arrive I shall invent a new way of cracking an APO, justifiable
homicide, another astronomical skill)

Give the PST suppliers hell Martin - it would be unthinkable not to
get it in time.
