I don't know, yet. I'm not able to make the drive right now (crap), but this fall, woooo hoooo! Very little about it on the website either, which hasn't been updated since holiday break last year... here:http://www.uwsp.edu/physastr/plan_obs/Observatory.htm and here:http://www.uwsp.edu/physastr/info.htm Going back to school does have benefits. Well, benefits besides the cute co-eds. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

Where's the option for the 16" Celestron? Oh, yea, I don't own it, but have access to it 2 times a week for now, and nightly starting this fall...

All you cat haters out there, you're welcome. That's one less kitten. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

Be nice, Lori. Jumping a wingsuit with a camera is not that unlike jumping with very low jump numbers and a camera. 1. You are doing something besides filming that requires EVERY bit of your attention. a. Wingsuits demand concentration to learn properly. b. At low jump numbers, every jump demands full concentration just to survive. 2. No camera helmet is completely snag proof. a. It is very possible to spin up a wingsuit on opening, even with a square main. Spinning mal and cutaway anyone? b. Poor body postion at deployment for newbies is a given. Combine that with a snaggy helmet and the desire to watch every opening and you have a recipe for disaster. 3. Emergency procedures. a. In a wingsuit, your range of motion is limited. Sure, you can reach your handles for cutaway/reserve with your wings hooked up, but can you reach your helmet snaps/buckles/release with your neck pulled tight by a line entanglement? Can you get out of your wings in time to free your helmet, cut away, and deploy the reserve? b. Your emergency procedures are still fresh in your head from all your training. Now you have a camera on your head. You have a spinning mal. It tangles on your shiny new camera. How do you get rid of it? Do you have an RSL? Did you disconnect it? If you did, can you explain why? If you didn't, can you explain that too? I like my new Hawkeye, and I might strap it on if asked for an RW jump, but there are plenty of other video flyers ready at a moments notice to get on the plane. I'm jumping wingsuits almost exclusively, so why add any extra risk? The same should go for anyone that wants to fly a camera, yet thinks of their flight path to the formation before actually flying it. Make the flying natural, then add the camera.

I find it strange that Quade hasn't chimed in to this thread yet, so I thought I'd link to his website. Best recomendations I've ever read. By reading this page, combined with starting jumping a wingsuit, I decided to take the cameras off for a bit. It's good advice, follow it. http://www.futurecam.com/beginningCameraFlying.html It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

Bo, PM JumpNFly. If I remember correctly, she was, and maybe still is, a Personal Trainer. I remember one pic of her in a comp, WOW, fit! If anyone here could suggest anything for you, I think it's her. On top of that, ask her to post to this thread. I could use the help too... It's your life, live it!

I still say Avast antivirus. Free for home use, and I have to admit, it's done an incredible job here. During the last outbreak, the auto-update was going nuts. I counted 4 updates in the space of 2 hours. These people are on their toes! No wonder they can charge an arm, leg, and first born for the server versions. Only stipulation for free use, you have to register it once a year. Small price to pay for very good quality, in my opinion. http://www.avast.com/i_idt_153.html It's your life, live it!

Go for it, Cora! In answer to your number 1, I am, starting this fall. Full time student, and with student teaching, it's going to be 5 years to my BS or BA (I haven't decided yet, Science or Arts, though I'm leaning toward science). I'm an Elementary Education major with a Psychology minor (hoping to be able to take it as a double major). Go for it! You won't regret it. It's your life, live it!

BeOS was so far ahead of it's time, and the BeBox (dedicated Be hardware) was incredible as well. Someday I want to get a BeBox, but there were only 1800 made, and 800 of those had the "good" (dual 133Mhz PowerPC) processors. Every once in a while one shows up on eBay, but they usually go for $500-1000. Too rich for my college student blood. Right now in retrocomputing land I have my eyes on a NeXTstation Turbo. Mmm, Lisp. Retrocomputing. Haven't heard that term in a bit. Anyone want a Tandy TRS-80, complete, with about every option you can thik of (tape drive/player. disk drives, printers, ect.) all in the original boxes? A friend's departed husband always kept boxes, and everything that goes in them, and she's looking to unload.... It's your life, live it!
