Playing around in the garden, trying our new scope with a Leica de lux 5 compact zoom
It takes some getting used to but I think it will produce some closer Osprey shots.
here's to a good day tomorrow!
This is with the eyepiece on only a 20 zoom and the camera on its full zoom fixed to a swing round bracket, a circle is produced on the L C D first and then camera zoomed until the vignetting disappears . this is from less than thirty feet away
once postiioned carefully it seems to work far better than the SLR which is only manual focus on the scope, fixed , so focusing is hard through the viewfinder,
This method is ideal as focusing is with the scope then the camera swung back in place
a little contrast added and sharpening

AR 15 scopes come in many variants. However, not all scopes are suitable to every AR 15 rifle. To determine whether a scope is the right fit to a particular rifle, an evaluation of the user’s needs, as well as the type of rifle and its intended use is important. All AR 15 scopes currently in the market have their own strengths and weaknesses. Hence, it is important that a balance of these two intertwined factors be reached in making a decision regarding which scope to use for a specific AR 15 rifle. The AR 15 is arguably the most popular rifle today. This is why there is no shortage of accessories and equipment being produced to complement what is already a top-notch line of rifles.With all the choices available today, rifle owners are faced with a predicament not for lack of suitable best AR 15 scopes, but due to the sheer difficulty of choosing from a long list of seemingly perfect complement for their guns. The question now is how to segregate all the choices and come up with the best scope for a particular AR 15 rifle.

Watching the Eclipse from Wilson Lake, Conser Road, Linn County, Oregon
About 9 a.m., we all walked down to the lake, where the filbert orchard owner & a dozen of his family and friends had gathered at their ‘cabin’, and we dozen borrowed chairs and sprawled on the lawn to watch the Eclipse. There was a ‘bite’ out of the sun from the time we got there, and we watched through Mylar “eclipse glasses” as the moon coursed across the face of Sol. I set up my spotting scope and projected the ‘camera obscura’ image onto a sheet of paper so people could see a larger image than just looking through the glasses. We visited, threw sticks for Bacon the Dog, and watched the sky get progressively darker.
From the 1979 eclipse, which was only partial in Chiloquin, Oregon when I lived there, I had remembered the change of light as the moon obscured the sun. The atmosphere doesn’t just get dark like when the ‘sun goes down’ on a normal day, but rather takes on an odd blue-rose or lavender-coloured hue.
Another phenomenon I wanted to see was the crescent ‘pinhole’ effect caused by the sun shining through the leaves of the orchard. Small openings between objects such as tree leaves act like pinhole camera apertures. These allow light rays from different parts of the partially obscured Sun to create an enlarged image of the Sun on the ground. The same shadows occur all the time, but the images created are circular, showing the entire solar disk. Under very good conditions, the image can include large sunspots, as well, but we didn’t notice spots today, except through the spotting scope. I pointed this effect out to the landowners' family, and they all oohed and ahhed when they looked.
Until about 10 minutes before totality, the birds were going to roost, with the robins being among the last to quieten. The last bird I saw was a Blue Heron flying toward the north end of the lake.
Finally, the moon totally obscured the face of the sun, and we saw the ‘diamond’ ring, just before the sky changed color as if a light switch had been flipped. The sun’s corona was amazing!! I don’t often use the word “awesome”, but seeing the eclipse in totality was, indeed, AWESOME! The ‘stars’ came out, with Venus shining brightly, and some of the other larger stars and planets being visible. It was a strange darkness – not ‘dark’, but darker than the light seen at sunset. We had just one minute and 58 seconds to marvel at this astral spectacular, and all present took full advantage. Even the smaller children seemed enraptured by the spectacle.
Then, it was past, and the initial bead of light once again filled the world, as though a light was switched on. For some reason, it seemed brighter after totality than it did before, even with the same amount of sun showing. It was not until 10 minutes past totality until I noticed the first bird – the call of a Scrub Jay from across the lake. It was another 5 minutes before the robins and waxwings reawakened and began flying. The heron flew back from its roost to its feeding spot at the south end of the lake, and I didn’t see or hear the barn swallows until we were almost back at the house. The Yellowthroats remained quiet. We stayed at the lake until the sun was about 90% exposed, and walked back through the filberts to the house. The farmers were off to continue combining and harvesting.
6000 Girl Scouts from around Southern California got hands-on experience with Celestron telescopes, microscopes, spotting scopes, and binoculars at the 2012 Girl Scout Camporee event at Lake Perris. Team Celestron had a great time sharing the world of science with these enthusiastic girls!
Camp Zama, Japan - Scores of senior noncommissioned officers from U.S. Army Japan and the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force pitted their strength, endurance and willpower against a punishing physical fitness challenge Aug. 5, 2016, in Camp Zama, Japan. The leaders divided into five integrated teams and donned 40-pound rucksacks before embarking on a four-mile route around the post.
Six physical challenges peppered the hilly, sun baked path that pushed the NCOs to their physical and mental limits. From performing dozens of pushups and pullups to lifting litters and 5-gallon water cans, the teams worked together and encouraged one another to overcome every obstacle.
Army Command Sgt. Maj. Richard R. Clark, command sergeant major, U.S. Army Japan, organized this two-hour event to demonstrate the necessity of conducting challenging PT sessions to prepare Soldiers for the rigors of combat. The session's seamless integration of American and Japanes NCOs further reinforced the strong ties between the U.S. Army and the JGSDF.
"Our Commander-in-Chief has made it very clear that America will no longer fight alone," said Clark. "The size and scope of today's contingencies demand that we form strong bonds through bilateral training events and international community outreach. Victory will go to the side with the stronger alliances. America is honored to have one of the strongest nations in the Pacific on our side."

Well, the kit is complete. I used a Leatherwood scope mount (thanks Jacksmith) with a 8-24x zoom scope. The scope rings are see-though so that I can use the default sights for close-up as well. Now I just need time to sight it in.
It barely fits in this case which is made to hold two guns. :)
1951 NSU Lambretta Scooter For Sale
NSU presented the NSU Lambretta for the first time at the Frankfurt Trade Fair in 1950, built under licence from the Italian company Innocenti.

Engine: 1-cylinder, 2-stroke
Displacement: 125 cc
Power: 4.5 hp at 4,500 rpm
Maximum speed: 75 km/h

This example saw most of its use in Germany, where the orioginal owner traveled extensively on the machine with his wife (the travel badges are authentic and mark the scope of their travels). The bike was imported to Canada and then sold to the current owner who sampled it and decomissioned it for display in his collection located just east of Toronto, Canada..

My telescope setup. It's a Meade LX90 10" GPS 'scope with the Canon T2i piggybacked. It was so cold that night that ice started to hinder my photography. Also, the location was so dark that I didn't even know that the building in the background existed until I took this three-minute exposure.

I made the arm punch of Scopedog.
The original version was reproducible, but its durability was weakened. But I'm pleased because I've developed more in the details of Scopedog.
Now it's time to build backpacks and weapons.
I'll make up for my shortcomings and come back.
Thank you.
I decided to put the scopes back on the mount today, just as I did it started raining :-(
