[ATMoB-discuss] Globe article

[Paul A. Valleli]

Yes, Mario,

I just read the article. The business section was
not where I expected to find an article on buying a
telescope. At least the writer did not say how much
money you put into your 'little hobby'! Editors can
really trash some good reporting.

It would have scared a lot of beginners away. It did
have a lot of good telescope buying tips , but the
local retailers aren't going to be happy with the
recommendations. 

Clear Skies and good GRB hunting ( Gamma Rays
Bursters for the beginner)
