Couldnt you load a full tower with serveral DVD burners with dual layer capability? That way you could cram twice as much on one disk and burn more than one disk at a time. Also has anyone looked into file compression technologies like ZIP, ACE or RAR?

As the moon climbs it gets diffused more and more due to the increased dew at the tip of the dome making it seem bigger. Bring up NSL images...

Thanks for the reply. Yes the canary island one works but it always looks to grainy to pick out anything fake. Thanks again keep up the good work. I just liked the Rosemary Hill one because I can evaluate the seeing conditions before I go out.
