Eastern Airlines Lockheed Super Constellation model L1049C was converted to a cargo configuration by the early 1960's. This was originally a passenger aircraft, but once the jet airliners arrived in the late 1950's, these aricraft were delegated to secondary service, shuttle service and were used for stand-by-service. Because the Constellations were not really old aircraft, many were converted into cargo aircraft. Some of the newer models such as the Lockheed Super G & H Constellations stayed in revenue passenger service for sometime after the jet airliners arrived. These Constellations cruised at speeds over 300 mph, with top speeds over 330 mph. They had extremely long range, much beyond what any of the jet airliners had during this era, and even beyond at 5,150 miles, plus even longer distances with wing tip fuel tanks. These Constellation's could also fly at altitudes in the 23,00 foot range, above most weather conditions. An interesting feature of this aircraft is that the cargo paint scheme utilized at this time differed from the standard Eastern Airlines passenger aircraft paint scheme. Notice what appears to be an old Douglas DC3 by the open hanger doors on the right.

Personally I have many fond memories of flying in these Super Constellations back in the day on Eastern Airlines and they were my favorite propeller driven commercial aircraft. To me they just had a style all their own that was pleasing to the eye, plus some good plush comfortable seats with leg room. The last Eastern Airlines Constellation that I flew in was in December 1962, when I had a standby ticket from Chicago to Tampa on a late morning jet airliner flight that was over sold. At this time I was in the U.S. Navy and could purchase stand-by tickets at reduced costs. Was asked would I like to wait for a late afternoon jet airliner to Tampa or would I like to take off right now on a propeller aircraft that would land in Saint Petersburg instead of Tampa, and I said yes because that's where I was going anyway. The ticket reservation agent told me that both the later morning jet flight and the multiple stop propeller plane would land at the same time, great I said! Had my guitar with me and a small suit case and I walked out to the plane on an apron to the boarding stairs up to a Lockheed Super G Constellation. The stewardess at that time, a cute young thing, said sir with your standby ticket we can only seat you in first class, do you mind, well that will be OK. At this time I was 19 and with no questions being asked, the stewardess asked would you like a beer or something else, but I chose the beer and had one good flight to my home destination. We had three stops in route prior to arriving at my final destination, Indianappolis, Cincinatti, Atlanta and then Saint Petersburg. Really did enjoy flying in a Constellation.

This image illustrates the overall Hubble Space Telescope (HST) configuration. Hubble is the product of a partnership between NASA, the European Space Agency, contractors, and the international community of astronomers. It is named after Edwin P. Hubble, an American astronomer who discovered the expanding nature of the universe and was the first to realize the true nature of galaxies.

The purpose of Hubble, the most complex and sensitive optical telescope ever made, is to study the cosmos from a low Earth orbit. By placing the telescope in space, astronomers are able to collect data that is free of Earth's atmosphere. Hubble detects objects 25 times fainter than the dimmest objects seen from Earth and provides astronomers with an observable universe 250 times larger than is visible from ground-based telescopes, extending our view more than 13 billion light-years away. Hubble views galaxies, stars, planets, comets, planet formation in other solar systems, and even unusual phenomena such as quasars, with 10 times the clarity of ground-based telescopes.

The major elements of Hubble are the Optical Telescope Assembly (OTA), the Support System Module (SSM), and the Scientific Instruments (SI). Hubble is approximately the size of a railroad car, with two cylinders joined together and wrapped in a silvery reflective heat shield blanket. Wing-like solar arrays extend horizontally from each side of these cylinders, and dish-shaped anternas extend above and below the body of the telescope. Hubble was deployed from the Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-31 mission) into Earth orbit in April 1990.

The Marshall Space Flight Center was responsible for the design, development, and construction of the observatory. The Perkin-Elmer Corporation in Danbury, Connecticut, developed the optical system and guidance sensors. The Lockheed Missile and Space Company of Sunnyvale, California, produced the protective outer shroud and spacecraft systems, and assembled and tested the finished telescope.

The image in this 3rd post on the subject of my Hasselblad 500C/M camera shows a configuration that is substantially different to that shown in the first 2 posts. In this post, I will discuss the change from the waist level viewfinder to a viewfinder that is angled at 45 degrees down from the horizontal.

With a waist level viewfinder, the photographer looks down into the viewfinder box onto the focusing screen. With the 45 degree viewfinder shown here, the photographer raises the camera up to one eye and looks at an angle of 45 degrees down onto the focusing screen.

Hasselblad also makes a 90 degree viewfinder. With this accessory, the photographer brings the camera right up to one eye and looks through a horizontal tube to see the focussing screen. Given the weight and bulk of the camera, I prefer the 45 degree viewfinder because I don't have to lift the camera up as high!

For myself, this 45 degree viewfinder has several advantages over the standard waist level viewfinder - (1) it has a diopter lens that allows me to adjust the focus for my eyesight so that I can see the focussing screen perfectly in focus, (2) it restores the correct upright left-right orientation of the scene being photographed, and (3) it includes a light meter. At this very early stage, I can see myself using the waist level viewfinder when shooting candid photographs and the 45 degree viewfinder when taking more leisurely, considered shots.

With the waist level viewfinder, the scene is portrayed on the focusing screen as upright but with left-right reversed. This takes a little getting used to when composing a shot! This 45 degree viewfinder provides an image of the scene that has the identical orientation to the scene being photographed.

The 500C/M doesn't have a light meter in its basic configuration. I carry a separate light meter when using this configuration (i.e., an analog Sekonic L-398A Studio Deluxe III Meter). This model of the 45 degree viewfinder has a built in light meter that just means I have one less item to carry around. In either case, though, the photographer must take the light reading from the meter and manually dial up the desired shutter speed and aperture - i.e., there is no electronic connection between the light meter in the viewfinder and the lens. Indeed, that goes for everything on the Hasselblad 500C/M - it is a completely manual camera - i.e., for focusing, setting the aperture, setting the shutter speed, advancing the film, and cocking the shutter. The consolation, or in my opinion, the joy of it, is that the camera has been engineered to make each of these operations an absolute joy. The controls are so smooth and solid to the touch!
