. In the foreground is our 10" scope. It needs a little maintenance. If you look closely you can see the "pliers and nuts" counterweight! Off in the back I had set up our 6" scope for some solar observing. It is a really nice scope but unfortunately, the drive motor turns it BACKWARDS! (If you are from the southern hemisphere and YOU have a scope that runs backwards... let's trade drives!!) .

... For eight samples of main-sequence disk stars, the metallicity indices 0.6 , R-1 (U-V), m1 ( ) have been calculated. The indices 0.6 and (U-B) have been calibrated to the metal abundance [Fe/H] for the spectral types F, G and K separately. ... It is found that the UBV and RI data for F- and K-dwarfs imply that the metallicity of the Sun coincides with that found for the Hyades, whereas the G-dwarfs give the well known smaller metallicity of the Sun with respect to the Hyades. ...
