I wanted to get my 365 out of the way early (is that sad?) because today's gonna be a busy one. Hence, a snapshot of some of my get-ready stuff, which makes me appear to love pink a lot more than I do. In reality, I'm feeling pretty much the opposite of this photo. I'd love nothing more than to wear pajamas to work today. Or, better yet, stay in my pajamas at home.
365 - Day 35
When out and about on holiday, get to the attraction just before it opens. The car park will be empty and any coach trips won't have arrived.

Aside from it being hot, what really stood out to me was how silent the environment around me was. Apart from the people around, it was silent. Almost awe-inspiring. Loved it.
My niece Clare and soon-to-be nephew Ian!!! The original shot was on Christmas Day 2014, just moments after they told me of their engagement!
Getting ready for a shuttle flight to San Diego (SAN.) It's part of the Essential Air Services (EAS) program, and it's not directly connected to other cities that this airline flies to (originally, in the vicinity of Seattle and Portland, hence the name.)

On a drive around the Altarnun area in the evening. Having a look at Launceston Castle. Day five we are staying in Altarnun tonight.
Set on a large natural mound, Launceston Castle dominates the surrounding landscape. Begun soon after the Norman Conquest, its focus is an unusual keep consisting of a 13th-century round tower built by Richard, Earl of Cornwall, inside an earlier circular shell-keep. The tower top can be reached via an internal staircase but once reached, offers breathtaking views of the historic town and countryside.
Once the administrative headquarters for the Earl of Cornwall, it was a significant location where control could be kept over the various estates in the area.
The castle has a colourful history as a prison of which George Fox, founder of the Quakers, was the most famous prisoner. He suffered harsh confinement here in 1656. Launceston Castle was also used as the base for the Cornish Royalist defence of the county. You can explore the long history of the castle in a display which traces 1,000 years, with finds from site excavations.

Second rev of the activated charcoal getter for Sitelle.
The first revision of the getter, a double-sided, double-chambered design based roughly off the GL Scientific getter for the Polycold PCC cold head, wound up not fitting in the cryostat. The flex for the feed-through, which was already pretty close to the getter in the original design, wound up being longer than expected, and caused a thermal short. As an interim measure we machined off the lower chamber of one of the getters so we could get back on task.
But I still had to design a new one. I had all kinds of grand schemes of making another CNC-based design. But we hit a schedule crunch, and the CNC mill at work was busy cranking out new filter frames for another instrument. Sooo...
I designed this one to be made on conventional hand-cranked machines. The top and bottom plate are 2mm 6061 aluminum. The sides are 0.010" thick x 1" wide high purity copper strip. The lower plate has three 1mmx1mm grooves cut in it to take the copper strips. The top plate has a recess to match the outer and inner groove, and has a bunch of holes drilled through it to let gas pass. The three strips were coated with Stycast resin, and the cavity was filled with activated charcoal. The charcoal is capped with a 1-micron glass filter, and then with the top plate. The whole mess is sealed on all four seams with Stycast.
In the end I think this was a better design than the original, even though the original won hands-down on looks, and this one literally cannot be serviced. There's more volume for getter material in this one, so the getter has more overall capacity, even if the pump speed is a little lower because of the smaller aperture. Also, the materials are much thinner than in the original design, so this getter should cool down faster than the original. That helps to ensure that it starts pumping well before the rest of the camera gets cold enough to condense water vapor.
I won't be able to test the performance of this getter until next week.
A typical scene in Hyderabad, multiple people on a motorcycle or scooter. Often, there are 2 or 3 children in between the parents but I have yet to be able to capture it...
Traffic is crazy in the city with cars, tuk-tuks, motorcycles, scooters, pedestrians and horse-drawn carts are fighting for a space on the road. The concept of lanes is unknown.

OK, important to remember: my camera was still on its absolutely widest setting here - 18mm, according to EXIF. So if I'm this close, this should tell you something. It's tough to tell how close underwater, but it felt like four inches. In reality, probably a foot.
That fish? Eating algae off his back.
this was not my intended post for the day, but I posted it due to a few (offline) comments. I won't be publishing it to any groups (not at first, at least), so only contacts & stream visitors get to see it. The real photo for today is still to come...

Antarctica: as remote as it gets on Earth. Concordia research station is a collaboration between the French Polar Institute and the Italian Antarctic programme. It is one of only three bases that is inhabited all year long, and is located at the mountain plateau called Dome C. Pictured in this image is the astronomical observatory near the base.
As well as offering around nine months of complete isolation, Concordia’s location at 3233 m altitude means the crew experience chronic hypobaric hypoxia – lack of oxygen in the brain. During the Antarctic winter, the crew of up to 15 people also endure four months of complete darkness: the sun disappears from May and is not seen again until late August. Temperatures can drop to –80°C in the winter, with a yearly average of –50°C.
As a station set in Earth’s harshest space, Concordia is an ideal stand-in for studying the human psychological and physiological effects of extreme cold, isolation and darkness.
