the American Bittern is a secretive marsh bird that eats fish, frogs, and other marsh dwelling invertebrates. I was fortunate to run into this bird out in the open at Viera Wetlands in Florida. The video was taken with a small Leica D-Lux 4 camera point & shoot camera through a Leica APO Televid 82 mm spotting scope!

The telescope holder and tripod is very useful for testing telescopes up tp 8 inches.

This waveform, sampled on VCC of an MSP430F2012, is 305mV tall and 476ns (2.1MHz) wide. A proper ADC ought to be able to extract this, giving me an external clock to sync to for power gitching attacks.
Made a DIY telescope by with paper and two magnifying glasses. Had to try and snap a photo through it. I'll experiment more with this in conjunction with my camera. Maybe I can trick some macro shots with it..?
Just a couple of scopes I made for N3. Nuff said... Enjoy!
Top scope is 222222, very dark, and bottom scope is 333333.. which I guess is still very dark, but I like it. Meant to make the top one a shade brighter, though if anyone uses it, they could just change it themselves.
Credit when used. Or we'll find you. o.o ...(jk)

Taken outside the Scope. I combined two long exposures together to get the best of both photos. It may appear as the police car is in motion but it was standing still to alert traffic before the Norfolk Admirals hockey game at the Scope. I sat the camera down on the sidewalk and took the two shots as we waited for the light to change so we could cross. Some people had already began walking in front of the one exposure but they aren't visible in the shot as it was near the end of the second exposure.

The Government announced its backing of Phase 1 of the development of a revised East-West Rail Link in August 2000.
Phase 1 – Bicester to Oxford (Completed December 2016)
Chiltern Railways’ Evergreen 3 project involved the introduction of new direct services between London (Marylebone) and Oxford via Bicester. The scope was enlarged to include the infrastructure required for East West Rail (Phase 1) between Oxford and Bicester. This involved the doubling of the railway track between Oxford and Bicester, and the construction of a new chord (a short section of track) to connect Bicester to the Chiltern mainline. East West Rail Phase 1 also involved the upgrading of track and signalling, and the construction of two new stations at Oxford Parkway and Bicester Village.
Services between Oxford Parkway and Bicester Village began on October 26, 2015. And on December 12, 2016, services between Oxford and London Marylebone via Bicester commenced.
Phase 2 – Bedford to Bicester, Milton Keynes to Princes Risborough is due to open in early 2020s
Phase 2 of the Western Section involves the upgrade and reconstruction of existing and mothballed section of the lines linking Bedford and Bicester, and Milton Keynes and Aylesbury. The Public Enquiry relating to Phase 2 will begin in 2019,
Work taking place is as follows:
Bicester to Claydon Junction: Track will be doubled and foot and highway crossings diverted, replaced with structures or closed.
Claydon Junction to Bletchley: This is the mothballed section of track and will be double tracked. At Bletchley Station there will be two high level platforms and a connecting footbridge and a new station will be built at Winslow.
Bletchley to Bedford: The current train service will continue to run and the track will remain as existing. There will be some alterations to some foot and highway crossings; diverted, replaced with structures or closed. Rigmont and Woburn Sands stations will receive platform extensions.
Claydon Junction to Aylesbury: Track will be doubled and foot and highway crossings diverted, replaced with structures or closed. There will be two platforms and a connecting footbridge at Aylesbury Vale Parkway Station.
Aylesbury to Princes Risborough: The Princes Risborough to Aylesbury line (PRA) is proposed to remain single track. There will be a platform extension at Princes Risborough Station.
The Players:
East West Rail Consortium: The Consortium contains councils along the East West Rail route. It was formed in 1995, and since then has made the strategic and business case for East West Rail. The Consortium is also a ‘minority shareholder’ in the scheme, having contributed £45m towards the Western Section. It works closely with Network Rail, the Department for Transport and other partners to ensure the line is built as soon as possible.
The East West Rail Alliance: The Alliance is made up of Network Rail, Atkins, Laing O’Rourke and Volker Rail. It is responsible for designing and building the Western Section.
The East West Railway Company: This was formed as a special purpose vehicle by the Secretary of State for Transport to optimise the delivery of the East West Rail. It initially reviewed the East West Rail proposals and led a value engineering and programme delivery review to identify how the value and benefits from this project can be realised as quickly as is possible. The company’s terms of reference are:
•work with the Department for Transport on its aim to open the entire line (including the Central Section from Bedford to Cambridge) by the mid 2020s
•explore innovative funding and financing options
•drive significant cost and time benefits in the construction, maintenance and operation of East West Rail
•generate greater contestability in rail construction and maintenance
•integrate infrastructure and train services to provide a better experience for passengers
•work with local communities to make sure the new railway meets the needs of those who live and work in the area
