How about the TV 140 on the auction block right now ?? Light weight and big aperture. Would make an awesome visual rig. grin

Now if we would all volunteer to work in Rolands shop, maybe we could help get the production back on schedulule, learn many things from the Jedi Master and be surrounded by all things AP. Sounds fun to me and I don't even own an AP. I do however apreciate such a selfless attitude from a business owner, but it would be pretty cool to see pics posted here of Roland and family in Bali - with an AP scope of course. grin

Large search light from McDonalds

Posted By Robert Swafford

Tell everyone you know to call the McDonalds and complain, and ask them to turn it off after 10pm or so. Maybe if the manager caught alot of flak, they would turn it off. You could also try to get a lighting ordinance passed in your area (difficult but not impossible) so that such a display would be unlawful. 8) Check out darksky.org for guidelines and examples of how to proceed.
