Hello Gentlemen, looking at the Photographs in search of EMC2 features at http://fenn.freeshell.org/retrofest/default.html
I found a picture of "Bill Volna, expert on kinematics" . I remembered that name because in June 1991, I wrote a letter to him as an answer to his article in Sky and Telescope about the "classroom observatory". I don't know if his obs has been realized, but mine, which I planned at the time and described to him in that letter, is standing and has been in use since 1996. 8 tons all steel and aluminum construction, 4 by 4 meters octagonal dome, 6 by 6 m to walk around it, and all at 12 m above ground. I'm now thinking of using EMC2 to make the dome rotate according to the telescope fork position (Meade 16" altaz mount). Give Bill Volna - if it really is him, William M. Volna of (then) Minneapolis Minn. Coolidge St., my best regards. Funny thing to run across a man after all those 18 years from this distance half around the world, isn't it?
