	Hi there.  I have not seen any msgs in this group since I joined
(about two months ago).  I have a few questions to throw out into the
field.  

	1) Does anyone know of any good trips/cruises/etc. with intention
	   to view Haley and will actually go to a good area, AND that isn't
	   too expensive???  Or is this a fantasy?

	2) Has anyone out there ever heard of the "Quantum-4"?  It is
	   a 4" Makustov-Cassegrain made by the Quantum Company, which
	   I believe no longer exists.  Does anyone own one, or a Quantum-6?
	   I put a little ad in ASTRONOMY with no response... It's a nice
	   little scope, I resolved M-57 and with a four inch, that's not bad!
	   Exactly what kind of people are there in this group, eh?
	   
	If there is anyone really interested in this topic (as I am), let's
start a discussion on an interesting topic- Black Holes? (too "pop"), quasars?
(not much to talk about), The Size of the Universe?  Comet Haley? (talk about
"pop"). I would really like to get an information exchange with any observers
out there as to what is good viewing.
