I remember that....
Early 2007 we were modding PST in the UK.
I was the first to identify and measure the front PST barlow element and publish the "majic" spacing -200mm inside focus as a definitive requirement.

Yes, lots of activity then with webcam mods as well and stacking software. And the ban on CN was a big stimulus for Stephen Ramsden to start Solarchat which has been amazing.
