Feels kinda weird that this blog has been visited over a million times. Watched the counter go over the mark and tagged the millionth visitor. Reckon I will just keep plugging away till I get it all done out here...stay tuned.
Thanks for the suggestions on my IT dilemma....
beckerized and
Andy Newall - send me an email so we can sort this out. Would be nice to get it all fully functional some day. Don't mean to leave UK-IT Neil out of the loop, but he needs to concentrate on the desert rover robot project.
Did a work around today for fun....avoiding computer issues. This doesn't solve the problem of deep space imaging or controlling the telescope but at least I can zoom in on far away objects with the stickam cam if I choose. Unscrewed the lens on the Logitech web cam and duct taped it to a mount to fit the telescope - and now I can see almost into the future. This is an
Inukshuk on top of Mt. McKenna just over a half mile away.
Dick Cain came by today looking for some his longhorns to push back to their winter grazing grounds. He called me this morning and I told him about 20 were in the neighborhood I asked him some questions about Benita's history. Seems he used to call her
Strawberry long before I showed up and named her Benita - a very fitting name. I asked him if he had any old photos of her and he thinks he might have one from when she was only 4 years old with her first calf. I sure hope he can dig that up. 51,64,45,0,B
