I haven't heard more about the telescope buying project.
Unfortunately, the conversations I have on that subject are usually quite short:
[Student, referring to a 6" reflector that belongs to the school or my old one that I sometimes bring]: "How much does a telescope like this cost?"
[Me]: "These days, about $500."
[Conversation ends.]
As an aside, I just put a copy of Build Yourself a Telescope onto Alibris. Only one of about fifty copies out there.
I'm not familiar with it.
I thought I'd mention this because, of course, we're actually in danger of talking about SF.
Why in heck would we want to talk about San Francisco?
