I was pretty fortunate to find a used TOA-150 in good condition and for a great price. :-)

By the way, this event does give me pause to modify my system and mount the newly acquired Tak TOA-150 side-by-side with the FSQ-106ED. There's always a silver lining. :-)

Thanks to the two of you, Marc and Louie. As has been said before... "I WILL RETURN!" :-)

That bites, you've been cranking. Gd Luck. Marc

Hopefully it'll be a quick turn around.

Mark and Kevin, thank your for the compliment. Unfortunately, I'll be out of action for a few weeks. Sometime during last night's Seagull Nebula capture session, the camera cable snagged on the mount and the resulting tug-of-war between the mount and the camera cable broke the USB port on the side of the 50D. Its on its way to Canon factory service in Irvine, CA. That will probably put me out for about two weeks. :-(

Thats a great shot John. I really like the how the colors and faint detail show up.
