- www.kevin-palmer.com - I went to Bear Butte, South Dakota, to try to capture the Quadrantid Meteor Shower. But it was cloudy most of the night. I did see a few between 2 and 3 AM when the sky cleared briefly. I later learned the meteor shower peaked earlier than expected, which favored observers in Europe.
John Wilcox used this quadrant on his voyages from Madison to New York and the Connecticut River in the early 1800's to about 1860. A quadrant was a forerunner of the sextant and measured the altitude of heavenly bodies for navigation.
Brass and ivory fitted ebony frame with the maker's name and compass degrees engraved on ivory set into the frame. Colored glass filters used in the sighting device. Quadrant fits into oak box with partial label of William Davenport, instrument dealer in Philadelphia. Cut side of box is painted yellow and has faint traces of a star and "JOHN WILCOX" painted on it. Made by Spencer, Browning & Rust, London England c. 1800.
Found in collection.

Unlike last yearās submissions, when I challenged myself to triple alliterations and puns, this year I simply tried to make a quadrant kaleidoscopes out of each picture from last year. It worked for all but 2 of last yearās photos, so I found 2 new subjects.

SFU Academic quadrant. Designed by Arthur Erickson. Commonly referred to as a "concrete prison" design by people, its controversial because it's designed by the award winning Arthur Erickson in 1965.

New Haven Railroad I-5 class 4-6-4 Hudson steam locomotive is seen hauling a long heavyweight passenger train along the Shore Line Route during the mid 1940's. These modern Baldwin built semi-streamlined steam locomotives were used to haul the fastest passenger trains along the Shore Line Route. On the right side of the train there is a cantilever signal bridge with blade style upper quadrant semaphore block signals. This photo may have been taken on the mainline in Rhode Island.
The name of the photographer that took this photo is unknown. This photo is courtesy of Marlin MacLaughlin.

Growing Mesocyclone SW Quadrant
Iām estimating this young developing Mesocyclone is 70 miles distant/ 50 miles wide. Relatively small for a Rotating mesocyclone. It was growing at the time. The sunset for that day is ongoing exactly behind me in about 15 minutes from this capture. There are just plain intense downpours under these storms sometimes. Depending on how fast they are moving makes you lucky or flooded locally lol. These only rain on a few percent of the ground area up here. Spotty! The ground under them becomes totally soaked if the storm doesnāt move.
We had a summer Mesocyclone years back that sat over us and dumped 4.5 inches of rain in 45 minutes. Water was sheet washing down the hill behind my home and skirting around the house. Almost nothing got in but that slope was angle deep in sheet wash. I have since re-landscapes using mounds to redirect any potential sheet wash off the long hill to our back. Itās only been a problem once in 20 years.
That was a rough storm. Tragically a local cowboy from a nearby ranch was killed in that storm. A truck full of locals went out to see what the 100 year water dump did, drove to one of their herds to check them, road was fine. Drove back the road had washed out. That cowboy was a passenger in that truck. County Emergency Management called me to close the road off from my side of the washout. The runoff went through a major country road that literal gully washer did. It was a major culvert to replace and a big job. We couldnāt get to the highway from that road for a while.
Location: Bliss Dinosaur Ranch, Wyoming/Montana borderlands.

Taken with my ZWO Asi183 camera and SkyWatcher 180mm Maksutov-Cassegrain reflector telescope with its 2700mm focal length, 0Ā° 17' x 0Ā° 11' field of view, and 0.18 arc-seconds/pixel resolution (330 metres on the Moon/pixel).
I start witn an original "Quadrant Kaleidoscope" and further manipulate the image with the GIMP software, using Filters --> Distorts --> Kaleidoscope. I vary the preset settings to achieve a different effect with 4 or more reflections.

I did not ask what he was doing or what his function was, and I did not care. Besides, he did not look like he was in any mood to talk.
