Certified Telescope Mechanics (Trust Us)

Diego and I drove into regional Victoria to fix a telescope dome because apparently that’s our life now.

We adjusted the focuser (it was vibing wrong), tried to mount a Celestron C14 on a pier (it said “no”), and realized we need an adapter the size of my ego.

It was dusty. It was weirdly emotional. One of us almost cried (me).

This is what happens when you give two guys tools, a telescope, and zero adult supervision. 🔧🔭🚙

Spudfest is on in Trentham this weekend, well worth a drive in the countryside.

Happy with the printer I found last week, so print 2/100 of the "overland track in blue" is ready! A2 giclee print on 310 gsm platine rag.

It's probably really only going to be a 50 print run - odd numbers are a slightly different shade of blues ;)

Available here: https://bluethumb.com.au/adam-steer/Artwork/topography-of-the-overland-track-in-blue-0

...or get in touch - although bluethumb offer better shipping and insurance networks than I can.

...I know it's Christmas day and everyone is busy chilling. However most of Victoria West of the Hume has an extreme fire danger rating ahead tomorrow.

If you live anywhere near extensive bushland, even a few suburbs deep, please prepare.

Fill all your water containers today. Have some fuel in the vehicle if you have one. If you must travel, stay close to home and family.

Maybe nothing happens? If it does, it gets really shit really fast.
