Its been a funny old day here in Suffolk. One moment sunny the next rain but hey am I depressed - not me- well just a little. I was hoping to get my big scope out on the mount and stay up to see if Saturn cleared my neighbour's roof at the back of our yard but the weather forcast for tonight is more of the same.
Any way, I v'e had a good shed day. Spectrometer Mark 3 continues apace. Without the aid of a lathe Ive reduced the diameter of a round aluminium bar inorder that it will plug into my telescope's focuser. Next step is to drill it to take the fibre optic cable that arrived through the post last week. I have no idea whether my latest design proposal will work but thats half the fun of it!
Good news is - BBC Weather Lowestoft says that tomorrow night it's going to be 'cloud free' Woo Hoo!
Just had my first ever 'Strawberry Daiquiri' cocktail - nice!
