Located on Amazon US here: <http://www.amazon.com/dp/0521700817/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=12PAYDK1BNR07&coliid=I2BPRPOOQ210I8> and added to my wish list. A little bit pricey. It has obviously been out for a while since there are many used ones available.

Well if we are recommending books, I see that one Michael Covington,
erstwhile OM-lister, no less, has a book on DSLR Astrophotography published
by Cambridge UP. If it is as good as his book on Eclipse Photography which
I used a few years back it *is* good.

       Along with the 90/1000mm f/11 refractor that I've refurbished, I'm
anxious to try my Quantaray 1000mm "Bazooka" lens for astrophotography.

Did you say that right?  I thought your Meade 90/11 was the Maksutov
version.


      As far as I know, it's just a palin old refractor, model 395.

      Speaking of astrophotography, I picked up a very nive book of photos
this morning "Celestial Nights: Visions of an Ancient Land" by Neil
Folberg.  Beautiful B&W photos of nighttime landscapes with a clear night
sky as a background, some landscapes illuminated by the moon, and a few
photos of the night sky bt itself.  Can't wait to try this in October when
the temperatures subside.
