    Yea I have noticed that using your index finger to
    delete unwanted messages can be difficult. This is
    getting out of hand. I will refer to my original post
    when I say that divisive behavior is not helping
    ANYONE'S cause. We all use a telescope in one way shap
    or form!!! Who gives a C*&^ how it is used. I
    personally do both visual and imaging and like the
    content for both. To say that this thread is getting
    on to the absolute BS level is an understatement!!!
    You visual only guys if you want a observers Utopia
    then go create one but I am here to tell you that the
    hobby is a lot larger then just using a dob and a star
    chart and think that you are some how better then
    others who don't. Now I know how one person in this
    group came up with the name "dob snob". We are a
    community!!! It is time to start acting like one!!!
    And that goes for imagers too!!! Ok I am off my box
    now...

    Regards,

    Eric
