These ends are quite robust and don't have any misalignment issues throughout the build sequence. These particular end alignment tools belonged to the late Frank Herety. They're not pretty bits of engineering but do the trick just fine. Note the tiny breather holes on the inside of the seatstay. I will plug and fill these at a later stage.

Kemble's Cascade is an asterism located in the constellation Camelopardalis (the Giraffe). Composed of ~20 stars, it is a chance alignment rather than a star cluster. There is a 'true' star cluster on the top-right end of this asterism, NGC 1502 (an open cluster). The picture is composed of 143 frames taken in the evening on 3/4/09 in my backyard in Houston, TX, before the constellation set into the dense haze. During the exposure process, a bright satellite showed up in 2 frames, which is likely SeaSat 1 (m = 3.1) according to heavens-above.com. The satellite flares were eliminated during the stacking process with DSS, so I manually added them back on the right positions.
P.S.
1. I just realized that I almost got the Comet C/2008 T2 Cardinal! It should be not far off the left border of my picture.
2. It seems like the best I can get (in the middle of the frame) with my 28-135 is around mag. +12.0 here under light haze. Should be better closer to the zenith...

Facing northeast on Main Street, the former curvier alignment of US 51 between Brookhaven and Wesson, Mississippi and this photo was taken at Railroad Street within the Pearlhaven Community.
The Massillia Cup took place over the week end. It was possible to see it from the inside on a ferry chartered for the occasion.
I tried to use my telescope in a polar-aligned configuration, using a photo tripod. That means an approximate alignment with an equally approximate tracking, but at least, the crosshairs would stay a good minute on a particular crater before drifting. Considering my cheap setup, I'm quite happy with the result. Tracking speed was set to "Lunar", obviously.
I'm still struggling with some focus issues (or maybe it's the practical resolving power limit for a sensor that small ?) but I think it's my best moon shot so far. Check the EXIF for more info - except for focal length, which I forgot to set, it's still 1250 mm at prime focus.

this splint was far more substantial than the first - all the "fuzz" is the layers of plaster and wrapping

"HERE IT IS" - Jack Rabbit Trading Post (1949), 3386 Jackrabbit Rd (I-40 Exit 269).
It is famous for Route 66 curios. The famous wooden billboard is original from 1949. Jack Rabbit was used also to offer Union 76 Gasoline.

Before we strap a rocket onto it and send it screaming down the track we want to make sure the alignment is correct. The cars are hooked to a shuttle that is itself hooked to the sled. The shuttle ensures the cables are generating an even pull since the cars will not be in perfect sync and so the sled will be pulled straight down the track with no lateral force

The Chamberlain Bridge (South Dakota Department of Transportation bridge no. 08-068-084) is a large, multi-span structure spanning Lake Francis Case, an artificial reservoir which inundates the natural channel of the Missouri River in Brule County, South Dakota. The bridge carries a “Business Loop” of I-90 over the waterway, linking the communities of Chamberlain and Oacoma. This roadway is an historic alignment of former US Highway 16, a primary east-west route across SD. The Chamberlain Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
Unfortunately this old alignment is blocked at the north end, and gated at the south. Pity!
I really do wish I cut out that maccas cup in the foreground.

I can make out a path on the map that was probably an old alignment. The pavement found here is evidence I was right.
