ASTRONOMY            

 I'm in the process of building up a page devoted to my Astronomy experiences and hope that you find a few of the pictures and links below of interest.

My purchase of the Mead ETX-125EC 5 inch Maksutov telescope from a neighbor for rock bottom $$$ led me into a childhood dream of someday owning a excellent telescope. Initial experience with the scope proved to be rudimentary at best, so I opted for a "Supercharge" of my scope by Dr. P. Clay Sherrod of the Arkansas Sky Observatory. This is a complete optical and mechanical modification preformed personally by Mr. Sherrod himself, and I have to say that it was well worth the extra $$ to get a complete, "better than new" scope back that performs 200% better than the stock model!!!! Also installed with the supercharge was the Meade #1247 Electric Focuser and the #497 Autostar controller.
