IMAGE INFO
- The viewpoint for this historic & rare image is looking south-south-west from the northern end of Coogee Beach.
- The "bathing machines" shown here were invented & produced by Mr Harry Greenfield from about March 1885 at the Vial & Sons coach factory, Castlereagh Street, Sydney. Though similar to others already in use in England & Europe, Mr Greenfield added an ingenious shark-proof cage mechanism that bathers could keep within, if they felt it necessary.
- The machines shown here would likely have first appeared at Coogee Beach sometime during September 1886, since Randwick Council gave approval for their immediate use on Coogee Beach on 31 August 1886. Not all councillors were in favor!
- The image is therefore dated September 1886.

PROCESS INFO
- I downloaded a copy of the digitized original (large file size & very faded, with a lot of cracked emulsion damage).
- Using Adobe Photoshop CS Windows, I cropped out the worst blurred & damaged top & side sections, enlarged the resulting image, then repaired much of the remaining image, removing thousands of cracked emulsion artifacts, restoring contrast, sharpness & lastly applying an adjusted sepia duo-tone curve for much better dynamic range.
- I resisted attempting to remove the remaining thousands of cracking artifacts from the sand areas & some of the water areas, since they only become a bit annoying at full zoom (my mouse recorder tells me I had made over 25,000 clicks, 10,000 zoom scrolls clicks & covered 1 km already to get the image to this stage, so I wasn't about to expend that much again for a "more perfect" result!)
A digitized transparency taken in 1991. If memory serves, we were on a whale watching cruise with hopes of seeing sea otters, too. Unfortunately, being 2 years after the Exxon Valdez spill, we did not see any otters (but a couple of humpback whales - yeah! Copied using the IPhone.

What a spooky, rainy day today; no chance for a cool pic, so you get a selfie.

On the left, an optical image from the Digitized Sky Survey shows Cygnus X-1, outlined in a red box. Cygnus X-1 is located near large active regions of star formation in the Milky Way, as seen in this image that spans some 700 light years across. An artist's illustration on the right depicts what astronomers think is happening within the Cygnus X-1 system. Cygnus X-1 is a so-called stellar-mass black hole, a class of black holes that comes from the collapse of a massive star. The black hole pulls material from a massive, blue companion star toward it. This material forms a disk (shown in red and orange) that rotates around the black hole before falling into it or being redirected away from the black hole in the form of powerful jets.
A trio of papers with data from radio, optical and X-ray telescopes, including NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, has revealed new details about the birth of this famous black hole that took place millions of years ago. Using X-ray data from Chandra, the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, and the Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics, scientists were able to determine the spin of Cygnus X-1 with unprecedented accuracy, showing that the black hole is spinning at very close to its maximum rate. Its event horizon -- the point of no return for material falling towards a black hole -- is spinning around more than 800 times a second.
Using optical observations of the companion star and its motion around its unseen companion, the team also made the most precise determination ever for the mass of Cygnus X-1, of 14.8 times the mass of the Sun. It was likely to have been almost this massive at birth, because of lack of time for it to grow appreciably.
The researchers also announced that they have made the most accurate distance estimate yet of Cygnus X-1 using the National Radio Observatory's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). The new distance is about 6,070 light years from Earth. This accurate distance was a crucial ingredient for making the precise mass and spin determinations.
