  1. Being I'm a tax payer, though a minor one, I'd have to choose between the HST or the JWST! It is a toss up.
  2. Excellent! I can't ever remember seeing the Milkyway in a full arch like that. Here I normally see it as a band across the sky. I'm guessing that's due to my Lat.
  3. I am totally satisfied with the results of this launch. All the doubters seem to forget, every launch these get closer to a total success! I had said I thought this one would make what would be "orbit", so just wait till the next one. I joked with my youngest daughter, I wouldn't be surprised to see Mr. Musk roll out a secretly developed lunar lander! On to the moon!
  4. In '17, it took me 11 hours to get out of South Carolina. To days before I made it from my house to SC in 8 hours.
  5. I just saw on FB one of the counties in Texas has declared an disaster declaration in preparation of the huge crowds expected for this eclipse. They are preparing for the population to double with the visitors.
  6. Seems I'm still being afflicted with the curse. I keep seeing excellent images everyone are posting, so finally I thought a day off and the weather would fall into place. Sadly, last night by the time Sol disappeared, high clouds and my neighbors light pollution killed my hopes! And now, time is changing again.
  7. My problem is when I have a drink, or two, I just can't get out to the observatory! I've started a new type of astronomy. You can't believe what you can see in a good dream!
  8. That is excellent astronomy! You are really reaching out into the distant parts of the solar system!
  9. The back cover off one of my intervalmeters. That's what happens when you play in the dark.
  10. It does look really good. At least now I know why there's so many clouds! I thought it was me working on an observing chair!
  11. Okay, how bad was having them removed? I also have two, both my big toes that need it done. But in total honesty, when it comes to teeth, eyes and nails I'm a chicken!
  12. Regardless of how, or why it tipped over there's one thing I can't stop thinking about. Remember the moment and the words, "Houston, Tranquility base here. The Eagle has landed!". Come on, this thing cost millions of dollars, made it to the moon! You tell me they can't put a spirit level in it so the AI brain can tell its tipped over! "Houston, we made it, but!" At least the Nasa administrator wouldn't have celebrated so quickly.
  13. Yes, you can definitely see it through just your filter. Really windy here in Fla. but clear!
