A Very Busy Day

A connector for 120,000-volt electric equipment.

T-28 Trojan

Caught this beautiful silver T-28 Trojan sitting on the ramp in Brenham.

Third Jupiter of the Year, Part II

A little sharper and a lot cleaner. I'm still frustrated though. I see other folks using similar gear to mine turning out better shots, and I don't know what I can do better.

Third Jupiter of the Year

Not necessarily the final image from tonight, but the first of four processed. Pretty good seeing; call it 3/5 with a slow undulation.

Second Jupiter of the Year

A little soft in worsening seeing. The moons are Ganymede and Europa. If I had stayed up another couple of hours we could have tried to catch them in front of the planet. Oh well. Finally got the LX200 remounted in the observatory--I told myself I was going to wait until we got a break from 100-degree days. We may have a few left, but it IS September, right?

Drawering

Drawing a milk jug is harder than it sounds. There's a reason the handle is hidden behind the pitcher.
