Back in the Saddle

PostDateIcon January 7th, 2012 | PostAuthorIcon Author: rvastro

Working is taking up most of my time these days. I have been out imaging from time to time with the scope. Part of these observing runs I have been adjusting the scope and mount to produce better images. I am still working on those and trying to tune the system to produce its best. Until I post again–hopefully not in four months, here is a little blast from the past. A picture taken from Lake Kissimmee State Park, Florida back in October 1995. This was the era when film was king and the ccd revolution was beginning to heat up. Enjoy Orion!

    Impressive - and about time Hopefully, handling all the electrons in the valence shells of a given atom will be the next step towards a massively parallel storage/ CPU, wherein a collection of atoms, or molecules is both the processor and storage unit. One day, guess a grain of salt would do for a desktop.... or whatever supplants it. Imagine if such a devic […]

    (I just found these, did not write them) Getting trampled on used to eventually kill you. Now it just annoys. Elbows bend one way, except on this guy screaming. His bends two ways now. His finger digs deep down the hole where his nose was and pulls out a toe. […]
