A semi-retired teacher who is exploring art and science.
I started on this stained glass project over two and a half years ago. I'm finally getting back to it and plan to get it done within two weeks.
Drove up to the Owyhee Mountains ad above the inversion. I can see clear across the valley.
Made a stand for a hammered dulcimer I built 37 years ago. Best get practicing on that also.
Fly nebula and some star clusters in Auriga the Charioteer.
Finally, my one hour exposure of monkey head nebula. This time I used a newer battery in my Stellina, robotic telescope.
My Stellina robotic telescope recorded monkey head nebula in Orion the Hunter last night. Unfortunately the battery died only after 6 minutes. This is the enhanced image that I got.
First snow of the year.

The comet looms above us in the sky. Foul apparition on its hoary wings. Portending death and the demise of kings.

Ominous sign that we are cursed to die. Fear and despair this ghastly Hearld brings. The comet looms above us in the sky.

Vile harbinger for the war drawing nigh. Foreshadowing famine and dreadful things. Leave us forthwith and take your painful stings. The comet looms above us in the sky.

I was just thinking about people who have fun by playing video games. Fun for me is getting sawdust in my hair and creating a physical artifact.
Made my first complete faceted gemstone, from cutting to polishing. This is a 5.9 caret amethyst. The design is called Mini Hexagon.
