It's an old Fujifilm canister with a 1cm-wide slot cut 3/4 down the length. If the top of the slot is left a bit narrow then the canister has less tendency to slip off sideways.
I saw this mod somewhere else on the 'net (can't remember where) so I can't claim credit for it.

Space Feed
A feed of awesome space events based on location.
Why the hack?
Current astronomy sites have complicated design or are overly technical for the casual observer. Typically lat/long is needed to figure out what is available in the night sky. Phones and browsers can take advantage of location and notification services to make the experience easy and passive for the user.
Visible with:
- Naked eye
- Binoculars
- Telescope
Specify distance:
- 5 miles, 15 miles, 25 miles, 50 miles, 100 miles etc.
Types of events:
- Meteor showers
- ISS flyover (transit, i.e. flying in front of the sun/moon)
- Other satellites
- Iridium flares
- Auras
- Planets
- Constellations
- What else is interesting? How do you take a data set and classify an astronomical event "interesting" without human input? Can you?
Visibility considerations:
- Weather
- Light pollution
Nice to Haves:
- Best viewing spots in your area based on weather/altitude/other factors
i.e. I am willing to travel X distance to see Y event. Return: "It's cloudy in San Francisco, go to Mt. Tam to see the Persieds meteor shower."
- Localize measurements based on location or OS language/format.
Technologies:
- Web based (ideal, open) OR
- iPhone app (more possibility? visibility/distribution?)
Data sets:
- ISS tracking data in web format - Created at London Science Hack day (XML file of ISS location): randomorbit.net/
- TLE data for all satellites - celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/master.asp

Hacken ist nicht nur alleine möglich, sondern auch in Gruppen. Deshalb arbeiten hier mehrere TeilnehmerInnen zusammen an einer Idee um diese bestmögliche umzusetzen.
The small white component is a 4N35 optocoupler that I desoldered from an old switch-mode power supply. There's a 330Ω resistor underneath the sleeving, too.
Holly's hacking success -- new menu items on the Monochron that turn on a LED strip. More details: www.nycresistor.com/2012/09/16/sunrise-lamp-alarm-clock/
Hacked my oscilloscope from the 50MHz model to 100MHz one. You can see that by the 2ns time setting.

This is what I found inside of the air box when I noticed that the AFM was off the wrong car. Total hack job by some previous owner. I have no idea what possessed someone to do this instead of finding a proper replacement AFM. Maybe they thought that the 5-series sensor would be moar awesome because it was bigger? Who knows. But it's wrong.
