Thanks for the reference. During my teenage years into early adult, I was pretty absorbed in astronomy. Scratch built a 6" reflector telescope, hand grinding, polishing and silvering the mirror etc.. For years I used to wade into astronomy books so I am pretty well filled in on what is out there in general terms. Sort of lost interest in it later on in life due to many factors. But thanks for your kind offer. Incidentally, looks like the site has had some problems in the past few hours. Tried logging in on and off with no success. Hope Jim's servers are not acting up. Have a good one E, I'll be signing off and getting some shut eye after posting replie to you.

Wow, 100 billion suns. And it sez, "search inside". I wouldn't know where to start. Must be a hell of a lot thicker than most books. ;') Thanks for the ping.
