The quality of this photo is in the pits. But he was a long way off, it was dark, there were hurricanes, tornados, typhoons, monsoons, and there was a bit of wind soooo
Flowers, circle, kaleidoscope, sphered.
That's the story, and I am stickin' to it.
Hope your Saturday is a great one!
Added an anit-cant level and a rubber eyepiece to the ZEQ polar scope.
Tested it under the stars last night, love the rubber eyepiece, no more cold metal against your eyebrow...:)
It's possibly stretching the idea of experimenting with mirrors to see what happens when you tap the barrel of a kaleidoscope whilst waving LEDs at it. But then, if you don't try, you'd never know what it would have come out like. That's what I telt myself anyway.
The little metallic members of Lasioglossum all tend to look alike until you put them under the scope, once you do you see that some of them don't have pollen carrying hairs .... such as this L. platyparium. Those are members of the genus that are cleptoparasitic on other Lasioglossum. This species is the most common in the Mid-Atlantic area and I associate it with groups of L. versatum, callidum, trigeminum. If you look closely you can also see that the tip of the mandible has no obvious tooth on it ...another sign of being a nest parasite. Now you know. Photograph by Ashleigh Jacobs.

USGSBIML Photoshopping Technique: Note that we now have added using the burn tool at 50% opacity set to shadows to clean up the halos that bleed into the black background from "hot" color sections of the picture.

The second Mech I post on Flickr is Scope Dog Custom.
I tried to make 'Scope Dog' with the original. But the other Armored Troopers were cool too and mixed together at once.
So I named it 'Scope Dog Custom.'
The head and legs are referred to as 'Scope Dog' and 'Shadow Flare' etc.
I also expressed the folding shape which is characteristic of the Armored Trooper. This was a very laborious task, which made it less durable.
I will continue to modify this 'AT' and improve the details.
Thank you.
I got this Celestron EdgeHD 8" scope as part of an estate but haven't used it yet since a few parts seem to have gotten away. I just picked up an adapter to mount a Canon 60D body so I'm hoping the crop factor math still works here since this is a 2000mm lens, a 1.6x crop factor should give me 3200mm which is one heck of a long lens. I should be able to tell if a house fly is a boy or a girl from 3 counties away.

This is the .mpo stereo type file voor real 3D monitors. To use this picture download the original and rename .jpg to .mpo Then use your 3D monitor program. I use Nvidia 3D glasses to view stereo images and a 27 inch 3D Asus monitor. The picture is HD.
The juvenile American White Pelican flew closer and scoped out the fishing. He liked it.
It is interesting to me that both the juveniles and adults have gaps in their wing feathers at this time of year. I went back to my photos from earlier in the summer and there were not any gaps like these birds had. Molting?
Sheryl, our guide to the Chilkoot Valley from Haines had several spotting scopes which she would set up at our stops so those without long lenses or binoculars could get some close-up views. Shot this with my phone using her scope.

Microfossils in the sediments in tidal wetlands along the estuaries of the Pacific Northwest provide evidence of the amount of subsidence that occurred during earthquakes along the Cascadian Subduction Zone over the centuries.
These two grad students are scoping a wetland along the Nehalem River Estuary, to find locations to take cores for further studies.
