Jim, after you pay the $ for the scope, you get real dedicated to see it work.
I just realized that I have two versions of the Wizard up on Astrobin with two different Takahashis. You may find it amusing to compare. One if from my backyard and the other from a dark sky site. I think both pretty much use the AIP processing cribsheet. Different cameras but similar pixel scales. I should reprocess the earlier one with exactly the same procedures as he later one. I prefer the later one from the dark site but I should use exactly these same procedures... I have all the PI procedures saved.
