Good info Dave, thank you.

Then is a suggestion, not that I'm pushing hard in this direction.

Perhaps the club wants to consider this as a lunar and planetary scope 
to bring out to Houge Park for the public?

I just think we're potentially dealing with something special in this 
case, its not like someone wanting to donate an old 10" Coulter with a 
bad primary.
