  1. My daughter informed me I'm 15,555 days old today.
  2. I love crisp nights like this, where a blanket of clouds mutes distance sound and the breeze gently rustles leaves to make the trees sing
  3. @rickcoplin Awesome! And a good shot...
  4. @rickcoplin Raccoons are quite destructive... just curious what he's shooting with today?
  5. @rickcoplin I guess now we'll never know if there will be 6 more weeks of winter at the farm :-) Nice shot!
  6. @yungyuc Woohoo! Congratulations!
  7. @grimm31415 I once long ago, for a moment, mistook the Memorial tourney blimp at night with scrolling message, for a UFO.
  8. @yungyuc Awesome!
  9. A perfect day to end the school year. Wow! Both my girls are high schoolers now...
  10. @mnforecaster Columbus, with three in a row now (91-93-93), has you both beat!
  11. @grimm31415 Keep it up, it's fun stuff. I'll definitely be dusting it off for the Venus transit (I have a full-aperture solar filter).
  12. @grimm31415 And one with same eyepiece, but with a 2x shorty barlow: twitpic.com/9qcpnc Sadly, it's been years since I've had it out.
  13. @grimm31415 Nice pic! I have an 1200mm 6" Skyquest that I've used a Orion ED-2 18mm eyepiece with. No camera mount twitpic.com/9qcldc
  14. @grimm31415 Cool! What kind of optics was that taken through?
  15. The Moon and Venus are passing in the night. The Moon heading away from her encounter with the Sun, Venus moving towards hers.
