Only 10 minutes outside with the binoculars gave me a nice reminder of why I love this hobby.
Even with bad skies and light pollution.
The Moon will forever be one of my favourites.
-
SGL, it's been a while!
-
Clearest nights when you are at work, cloudiest skies when you're enjoying time away from work. Need I say more?
-
I just noticed I've got a dime in my wallet. Looks quite a lot like a 5p coin but certainly shouldn't be used as one ;).
-
Installation of OSX Lion was a success, seems to have fixed a few problems I've been having - in the process now of moving everything over to the new operating system (my hard drive has 2 partitions at the moment, one running Snow Leopard and one running Lion, still a lot of testing to see which I prefer though ;).
-
Going to finally experience OS X Lion, on a partition on my hard drive that is. I wouldn't want all of my apps to start crashing ;).
-
1 month to go and all the building work and decorating will be completely finished, building work should be done in 2 weeks and then I can finally get my scopes out of hibernation - just in time for the solstice, typical!
-
Computer is now fine. Shouldn't have panicked in the end :).
-
I won't be on SGL for the next week or two - my laptop no longer works probably due to a hard drive failure. This may mean a new computer which means I'll have to delay getting my AZ-EQ6 even longer :(. See you all on the other side.
-
I'm impressed - the last astro thing I bought was 6 weeks ago!
-
The work on the house is nearing final stages, probably two weeks or so left... then I can bring my scopes out again :D.
-
Scopes packed away for house work next week. Dust here we come....
-
Now I've done it.... both cases now sorted out, a third one ordered, and a new eyepiece too. That makes 3 cases....
-
Spent the last hour and a half backing up my hard drive so I can transfer everything over to the new one - it's still not done :(
-
and... now I'm back in the UK at home. The weather hasn't improved any since I left...
-
Optimizing my computer ready for the complex world of astrophotography. Next on the list is a larger HD and more RAM. Still running Mac OS, but if the software isn't going to play ball I'll just have to Bootcamp. Don't expect any images from me for a considerable time ;).
-
In these past 3/4 days at Les Granges I've already had 11 hours observing, most with a 20" dob - stunning skies. Need I say more? :D
-
Slowly coming to the realisation that I can't fit anymore telescopes into my room. Not if I want to be able to get around properly anyway ;).
-
You know... watching The Culture Show which was basically about Lego does make me think about starting a Lego collection again. I couldn't get enough of it as a child... had 3 large storage boxes full!
-
Why did my bank have to give me a contactless card? Do they not know how unsecure they are... not to worry though, I've lined some foil in my wallet which should block the radio signals :).

It's actually a pretty robust system, holes have been identified and new cards are already closed to that. Like all new tech and old, it will be vulnerable, chip and pin was, the magnetic strip was and still is if someone can double swipe. I have used one for well over a year without incident. Totally agree though, if you don't feel comfortable with it, remove it. Lower your surface area to attack, it's a common IT practise called defence in depth.

OMC200 being delivered tomorrow morning :D

Wine has to be one of the greatest bits of software for Mac ever.. it allows you to run a kind of virtual windows machine on your mac, currently going back and playing games that used to only work on Windows 95!
