Subject: Help! I need a copy of my ORIGINAL old article on Apodizing Masks or Screens
|
Friends:
Years ago on my website I put together an article about making an
apodizing screen. It was in a web page called "Improving Your
Reflector Telescope Performance on Planets": by me, Steve Waldee.
I would like to repost this article but have lost the original file,
now about ten years old.
Two different websites have taken the article, without my permission,
and have condensed it down to just a few sentences leaving out my
illustrations except for one. That's better than nothing so I've left
the situation that way for some time.
But I contacted them and THEY too don't have my original in complete
form.
Does ANYONE have a copy of it?
I'd like to include it again on my Full Moon Essays page.
Unfortunately all my email boxes are heavily used but protected with
complicated registration processes. So I won't give an email box for
reply -- YET.
If you have the original and the pictures, just post a reply here. I
can do one of two things: write you privately, or I can open up a
disposable mailbox just to receive it as an attachment, which I can do
in a day or so.
Thanks for your assistance.
Best,
Astro-App (srw)

That is one of the number of people who took my original, quite long
article illustrated by a series of pictures, and reworked it into
something else while using a single picture from the original, the
illustration I drew of the screens. The original article was maybe 15
longer and had at lest a half dozen drawings and photos and went into
some of the explanations offered by various opticians why the apodizer
works. Ken, who created this one, does not have the original any more
either.
If you do a search you will turn up some of the other versions of it,
which are poorer than the one Ken made up. I finally decided that it
would be nice to put the original back on the Net -- and can't find
the files.
