    flash period of 88071A is based on 10 'cycles'  
    let me know if that is more or less in agreement, as I recall
    on wed at bee cave site in austin it was 95.42 so either the
    spin rate is slowly changing or my sw needs recalibration,
    or the user needs recalibration.  (thanks to Mike & Ed for all
    their hospitality -- I think I saw more sats that one night than I 
    had seen in the past 12 months).
    
    99023A contrary to some mag predictions, seemed much
    closer to +6.0 vM than +7.2.  but then again I did see a 
    +8.0 star in the SSE in the mooooonlight, so maybe my vM's are
    shaky.
    
    I acquired a bogen manfrotto head and tripod, very nice :)
    
    is anyone using a meade 8" LX90 ?  if so do you like it, or not ??
