An image of Jupiter acquired during the evening of the 13 February, when half-decent conditions (at last!) allowed me to image the giant planet. The planet resides in Gemini at present.
This image was captured earlier on in the session, at 19.47UT. It is the result of RGB filter runs using a mono camera. A detailed IR pass filter image was added for luminance.
Again lots of detail visible, including some with the GRS itself, which is transiting across in this image. A smaller red spot is visible to the upper left in the North Temperate Region.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 and a mono ZWO 290 camera. I used Baader RGB and IR Pass filters with a x2 Focal Extender in the train.
Still a year away from opening at the time this picture was taken but from street level it looks as if everything is ready. The station opened earlier in 2020 and is on the newly completed Blue Line that loops around the city as a complete circle. This is now the nearest stop to Wat Arun

Happy Hump Day!!!
View of Mt. Meeker and Long's Peak from the Pella Crossing Open Space in Hygiene. If you look real close, you can see our house right in the middle where the snow line ends and the tree line begins; lol!!! All joking aside, it really is up there :-)

Selection of children's shoes in one of the many kindergartens in Pripyat.
Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Though Pripyat is located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion, the abandoned city now has a special status within the larger Kiev Oblast (province), being administered directly from Kiev. Pripyat is also supervised by Ukraine's Ministry of Emergencies, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: ?????? ????, mirnyj atom) was popular during those times. The original plan had been to build the plant only 25 km (16 mi) from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about it being too close to the city. As a result, the power station and Pripyat were built at their current locations, about 100 km (62 mi) from Kiev. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.
A 35 man (plus guides) trip to the Ukraine exploring Chernobyl, the village, Duga 3, Pripyat and Kiev including Maidan (Independence Square) and observing the peaceful protests underway.
Some new faces, some old, made new friends and generally we were in our elements.
Rhetorical question but did we have a blast? You bet!
Amazing group, top guys. Till the next time!

- Usable example of this renowned marque
- Originally delivered to Australia
- Older restoration
- Known history from new
This FN 1600 Model has a history that can be charted from its earliest days as on file is a copy of the original delivery book records for the Herstal based factory. According to that information it left the works on 22nd February 1912 and was supplied to their agent Meredith in London. From London it traversed the globe being shipped to Binalong in New South Wales, Australia, where it would arrive with its first owner Edwin S. Davidson. There it was registered for the road with the NSW number 8079 according to their records. Some 350 km from the port of Sydney and close to the railway, it is likely that the car would have travelled first by rail to its new owner.
As researched by former owner Barry Roberts of Canberra, Davidson was a bookkeeper on a farm, which he would later name Cunningham Plains, and it was there that the FN would reside for the next 3 decades, before being replaced by a Buick in 1940. Interestingly the Davidson family also owned another 2400 Model FN at one point also.
In around 1969, the FN was brought to Canberra, and came into the ownership of Alan Higgisson, a Veteran Car Club of Australia member. By this time the car required a restoration, which he carried out to an exacting degree, and in doing so seemingly replicated the rear section of the bodywork which appears newer that the scuttle area. Post rebuild, Mr. Higgisson kept the car through to 1980 when it passed to the aforementioned Mr. Roberts. In 2003 it changed hands again, later arriving in Mr. Vander Stappen's collection.
A natural fit within this group of Belgian cars, FN's are much coveted for their usability as touring cars, noted historian the late Malcolm Jeal being among prominent exponents of them and using his own model 1250 'Fenella' for many years. In view of its limited use in recent years we would advise that it be recommissioned prior to extended road use, however when completed, appointed as it is with full set of lamps, windscreen, top and dickey/boot storage area it would certainly lend itself well to events.
Not feeling 100% this afternoon and as it is also bucketing down rain I decided the best thing would be to stay put with a warm drink and a good book.
Retired on February and will be auctioned off online soon.

It's the upside down fence again reflected in a puddle, further distorted by the slight breeze we had.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
I went outside to take a sunset, and these two, who we see walking by our house 3-4 times a day, were super interested and curious.
"Most walked dogs ever," my husband and I say on repeat. I just love them.
Due to Bonkers' condition and the medicine used to treat it, he doesn't go into this little wicker cat house anymore. Naomi's father originally bought it for Norio back in April of last year, but Bonkers stole it from him. Now that Bonkers can't use it, Norio took it back, just as he took back the dinner table from Nobuo once Nobuo passed away. Things are returning to Norio...
