| My main inspiration to this scope were the numerous ATM homepages on the net and especially the many
interesting threads in ATM newsgroups (german: www.astronomie.de,
www.astrotreff.de and international:
www.atmlist.net). Without so many success stories I would probably never have dared to take the adventure of trying to create something as delicate as a telescope. So I see this homepage as something I want to give back to the ATM community, that I have taken so much from. It gets difficult to remember when an idea formed and who I stole it from, so here's the general list of culprits in no particular order whatsoever (no offenses meant - I'm sure the list is not complete! If you discover a design, an idea or any other form of intellectual property I copied / used from you and you can't find yourself, please take my apologies and send me a howler): Mel Bartels Stathis Kafalis Clive Milne Bruce Sayre Steven Lee Martin Trittelwitz Richard Schwartz Tom Krajci Frederique Géa James Lerch Kurt Schreckling Heiner Otterstedt Nils Olof Carlin Mark Holm Dale A. Keller David Lewis Ernst Sauer Jan van Gastel San Francisco Sidewalk Astronomers Stellafane ATM resources John Dobson Herbert Zellhuber Jim Sapp Raphael Bugiel Achim Strnad Albert G. Ingalls Albert Highe Jim Miller And last but not least I would like to share with you the funniest homepage on the internet I know: The real Kiwi spirit |
