Sounds interesting, but can you translate to English? BTW, I tried it again last night (tonight is full on clouds and rain) and I got much closer results, but at the end of my sights I shook the mirror box and heard water inside it. So perhaps much of the error is due to my usual half- assery in construction. I'm going to try to rebuild it with more care and see how it works, Ken Muldrew --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
