The new Test-Bed Telescope 2, a European Space Agency telescope, is housed inside the shiny white dome shown in this picture, at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile. The telescope has now started operations and will assist its northern-hemisphere twin in protecting us from potentially hazardous, near-Earth objects.
The domes of ESO's 0.5 m and the Danish 0.5 m telescopes are visible in the background of this image.

Testing a 1997 Dated Kodak High Speed Infra Red film found in my feezer with an ASAHI PENTAX LX that I have not used for a long time as it suffers the 'Sticky Mirror Syndrome' It free up after a bit of use, I used SMC Pentax-A 24mm f2.8 and SMC Pentax-M 50mm f1.7 lenses with a 25A RED Filter and processed in home-made FX-15 1+1 for 14 mins @ 20oC All in CHELMSFORD, Essex, Central Park .
Dragged a car battery and an inverter out onto the back field to test out a 10m length of mains-powered ropelights. A bit daft really. I'm sure the lights themselves would manage with 12V is there was enough current getting through. 2A per metre apparently. I need to get it attached to a smaller battery if it's going to be mobile.
The 10m is doubledup twice here, so it's 4strands, each 2m in length, with the excess hidden, as swinging 10m straight out proved to keep hitting bushes, and was a bit iffy. Probably a 2-person job really. But it's got potential as a largescale LP tool as it's bright. This is a 2.5s exposure, so they're moving quite quickly, at a greater distance, moved slower, they should still show up OK.
Even if I've had a bit of experience with TLRs for some weird reason this waist level VF isn't as easy to focus. :(

Testing the Fuji 50-140mm f/2.8. Someone commented that this lens has a case of confused identity bec. it thinks it is a prime lens. I believe that person may very well be right. :P I am gonna try this lens in a sports setting soon to see how it fares.

First test roll in my new mystery camera the German made Hexi. I used iso 160 and decided to do multiple exposures (for some reason..) I'm quite surprised at how sharp and contrasty the images are...
A further loaded test run around the Carnforth circuit for Bulleid 'Merchant Navy' Class no. 35018 'British India Line' took place on the 7th March 2018. Here the train passes Armistead on the Little North Western line, still showing signs of a continuing problem. Nevertheless, on this occasion, the whole circuit was completed.
