FeeBay... I love it. True too...

I saw those. Bit rich, but not far off. I don't 'need' any. LOL.

Since when has 'need' ever stopped any of us?

I mean, that's how I ended up with both old and new Colt Pythons!  Well, on the new one, I just bid low and assumed I'd be outbid but finally that bit me in the posterior.  At least I got that one for below dealer cost.

I wonder how many NIMO tubes are changing owners because they were unable to build their own clock ? For that matter, how many NIMO tubes were manufactured in the first place ? I've never seen a picture of a real product using them; only the mockup in the IEE sales literature.

I'm not sure if this counts as commercial but there are a few photos with NIMOs here used in an observatory: https://www.flickr.com/photos/spacelama/3042797253/in/photostream/ flip through the åhotos for some closeups.

Hi Martin,

Do you know which observatory that is?

Could be the largest telescope on Kitt Peak National Obeservatory (KPNO) or the biggest one in Siding Spring/Australia (formerly Anglo-Australian Obeservatory) or perhaps on Mauna Kea/Hawaii?

Best regards

Roger
