ran 2014 telescope clinic

Conducted the telescope clinic at the David Dunlap Observatory. We had a good turn out, better than last year. And I think fewer hiccups. All 'round, a very good event.


Madigan shot the photos.

Looked at Chris Joly's damaged NexStar 8. The corrector was completely shattered, cracks everywhere. And, as I feared, small glass particles were inside the OTA. I immediately urged him to keep the tube horizontally and to avoid sudden movement.
