Ok, so it has been 20 years since my Astronomy classes, and I forgot about that evening class when we discussed the hypothetical boson of mass. Sorry for the confusion.
I'm off to have another Corona, dust off my 16" Dobsonian I built back in college and search the sky for some dark matter. 
Woah! You built a 16" Dob? Now that IS cool!!
Well.....I got as far as 60mm...... 
I don't think I wanna talk about it.

Yes Bob, welcome. You don't have to worry about axions, gluons and black holes and need have little concern about "matching" speakers and receivers. All the Axioms need is clean power, and that's available from any of the popular receivers. Pick the features you want at a price that fits your budget.
-----------------------------------
Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

When I said 16" I guess I was referring to the Sonotube, my mistake. I ran down to measure, the sonotube is actualy 15" diam. and if I recall the primary mirror is 12" F5, however, I didn't want to remove it and mess up the alignment bolts. OK, enough of the hijacking.
Has anybody ever heard of Axioms?

Not that I know that much about telescopes, but a 16 incher is pretty impressive!

Hi Everybody,
Yes I am still here. Thanks for all you input.
You guys are write I am have very dumb fingers. They just don't type the letters my brain tells them. It is hard to teach old dogs new tricks.
Again thanks for all your input.
Now I just have to get off my dead A?? and get out there and start listening.
Bob
