Optics
              The film work was done with an MK69 Mak-Cass. It was replaced by a Borg 101ED which acquired
              several images in the CCD Gallery. Lacking the color correction and sharpness required for CCD,    
              it was replaced by an MN56 with a JMI NGF DX-1M motorized focuser making focusing a breeze.
              This was replaced by a Vixen R200SS with JMI Motofocus. A Borg 45ED was also replaced by                
              a TV60is. I believe a Vixen VC200L will be added soon.
