Hmmm.... if you kept your bottle of mercury under your parka and then
poured it into the tray, it would level itself and then freeze in that
position (like my wax horizon) and you wouldn't need to place a mirror
on top of it (like with the wax version) to take star sights and you
wouldn't have to worry about breezes rippling the surface after it is
frozen. Still looks good to me. gl --- On Wed, 10/5/11, Wolfgang Hasper <wolfgang.hasper@web.de> wrote:
