From the Folks at Global Rent a Scope

	DC-3 Dreams ACP ACP is the leading software supplier of observatory automation software. ACP powers the GRAS network and provides many of the features in use today. ACP also provides observatory automation through your web browser which allows you to share your sky remotely. ACP is designed from the ground up to support Astrophotography and Science Researchers.
	ASTRODON® FILTERS SIMPLIFY IMAGING These filters are designed to simplify your imaging efforts, with shorter imaging time, G2V white-point balance , balanced OIII nebula color, and ~1:1:1 RGB combining for Kodak -E CCDs and Interline CCDs. They are an outgrowth of over a year and a half of research , published in Sky and Telescope and presented at AstroImage and Imaging the Sky conferences. The narrowband filters, H-a, SII and OIII, allow you to image when the moon is up, thereby extending the amount of imaging time you have each month. Since they are parfocal with the LRGB filters, you can easily focus on the L or C filter and then switch to the narrowband filter WITHOUT refocusing.
	New Mexico Skies Our goal at New Mexico Skies is providing a remarkable experience for the amateur astronomer. You'll be amazed at the exceptionally dark and transparent view of the night sky from the top of Mt. Joy in New Mexico's beautiful Sacramento Mountains. Thanks to factors such as our prime geographical location, high elevation, and low light pollution, paired with our high-end astronomical equipment and friendly guidance, we are able to offer our visitors an unparalleled viewing experience.
	SBIG Astronomical Instruments In most high technology markets there are "pioneers", companies who have the technology and dedication to influence the direction of an entire industry. In the past 10 years SBIG has been that pioneer in the electronic imaging industry. We have a reputation for outstanding quality products. We were the first company to introduce CCD autoguiding with the Model ST-4, Track and Accumulate (TRACCUM) with the Model ST-6, and dual CCD self-guiding with the Models ST-7 and ST-8. SBIG pioneered tricolor imaging with both hardware and software and are pushing the technology forward again with the introduction of Adaptive Optics and a stand-alone video camera and autoguider. Along the way we were granted two U.S. Patents, one for Track and Accumulate and the other for Self-Guiding.
