The staff of Brookhaven's National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) have completed a preliminary test of one of the project’s critical design issues -- to determine how closely the magnets stay aligned when they are moved from their assembly point to the NSLS-II tunnel. The results confirm that the magnets’ high-precision alignment would survive the process of transporting and installing and fixing the girders to the ground in the tunnel.
An aircraft above the skies of Edinburgh. It's vapour trail in alignment with the ferris wheel in Princes Street Gardens for the Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe.

When you're setting up the lays on your press, a transparent grid can be very useful to get things straight. Make an impression on the top sheet, then put the grid over it and adjust the lays to fit. It's amazing how a fraction of a degree off-square can look so obviously wrong.
There have been commercial products — Alignmate has been discussed online recently, and there was another called Esila but you can easily print your own with a laser printer and some acetate. If there's a job you print regularly with the same format you can produce one specially for that.
Alignment of the five bright planets, in order of their distance from the Sun, together with the waning crescent moon, as seen from Mout Coot-tha, Brisbane, Australia. The last time these five planets aligned was in 2004 and the next occurence will be in 2040. Mercury can be seen in the lower right, just above the pre-dawn glow. The other planets are aligned diagonally along the path of the ecliptic, first Venus, then the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and finally Saturn in the upper left corner. Six images stacked to a vertical panorama in Photoshop.
marble counter top. Very flat verified by the granite tables at my old job. I measure all frames and forks from both sides to have redundant measurement. I never trust just one side of the bb shell. The standoff is machined flat on both sides and can clamp to any part of the table. No holes.
My trusty Zeus dropout alignment tool. Note the bass washers-for use in 130mm spaced rear dropouts. This is a vintage tool, made for 120mm spacing.
After nature's alignment, we see the shore, two boats, and the sun line up just right. These images were taken just after sunrise on Pleasant Bay at Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It's good to see on a quick visit with totally crappy weather, that we could squeeze in a few good shots like these. I hope you like them.
This little U-shaped slot holds the magazine drum in place and centered in the receiver. Magnets hold it in place, but this keeps it from being knocked around.
The Moon rises and the Sun sets on opposing sides of the Burton Memorial Tower at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in early March, 2023.
The newest camera to arrive is a Yashica GTN, which is identical to the GSN, except black. I have a GSN in a million pieces in a box, but decided to take a chance on one again, and I do like the black better; it feels more stylish.
I already shot a test roll and it works well. Prior to shooting though, I did adjust the rangefinder's vertical alignment. Focus seems pretty good, exposures and spacing are all good too. I think I will clean the viewfinder sometime and maybe tweak the horizontal/infinity alignment; I focus at something at infinity and it seems I can still turn the lens half a millimetre.
