Pink cast for a week, after 3 weeks of open hole still draining... Dr is trying a cast to prevent movement so maybe the hole will close....
This is a custom mount for the 500mm Tele-Xenar. The rear element is too large to fit onto the camera, so the entire lens needs to moounted in front of the lens board. The mount seperates so that the original lenscap can be put back on the rear element. The adapter still needs to be black anodized.

Well, you can't see my hands, but they are both occupied making scope adjustments. You have to put the fired case somewhere!
Just a few sights and a scope i made in bordem, the one in the top right i got from Xan and recolored, credit him for that, not me!!
I became curious whether I could reverse-engineer and recreate the IR signal that my ST-E2 wireless flash transmitter produces. So, I put a photosensor on my roommate's oscilliscope to see what I could find.
His scope isn't quite up to the job. It's an older analog scope, with no memory. So I ended up setting up my camera in front of it to try and record the trace. Here's the result. I tried a bunch of different settings, but there's still more experimenting to be done. Each successful capture takes about 5 tries, to get everything aligned right. The scope here is set to 0.5V/div (not zeroed vertically), and 1ms/div. The photosensor pulls low when it sees light.
Looks to me like pulse modulation, something like 64 bits, 10KHz. Of course, it has to be pulse modulation; the transmitter transmits by firing a little flashbulb. I think I might have enough here to recreate at least the signal for the pilot button. Tomorrow.
This action was performed the second day of the Scope Miami 2010 art fair, 12/1/10, and was a poll from my project "The Advice of Strangers" - see theadviceofstrangers.com/poll/87#poll87Updates for poll and info.
She’s walking in the forest, looking for something she doesn’t really know but knows exactly what it is at the same time. She is not lost nor knows where she is. She is almost nowhere. Ferns, their love for humidity, their spores. The forest is warm and damp; it has been raining, the smells are overwhelming. She remembers. What? She doesn’t really know. It’s dark and she walks light footed in the woods, her bare legs brushing the ferns, their humid spores leave dark traces on her skin, like velvet drawings. She can feel that he is in the forest too. Who? She doesn’t know but she can feel him, smell him; she remembers the smell… When and where? She doesn’t know. She bends down to look under the fern bushes. He is walking in the forest. He knows it well. He carries his heavy body. His bare feet glide through the mud. He can smell a presence he knew about long ago. Who is she? He doesn’t know, but she is young and slim and firm. The smell is fresh and humid and reminds him of ferns. He walks along the muddy paths and at a certain point he completely penetrates the forest. And suddenly… She sees his bare feet. Strong, heavy, muddy. He sees her wavy long hair that drapes down her back and over her shoulders. She slowly looks up his legs. He is wearing jeans. Her bare legs get lost in her boots, her black shorts have a big bump in front – her 44 Magnum. She stands up, she is as tall as he his. The smells start to mix. She wants to smell inside him. Inside his clothes, inside his body, inside his brain. She wants him, to absorb him, to take him in. He is overwhelmed with the excitement of meeting this beautiful woman in the woods. He wants to make love to her, but he must not be so aggressive. He farts with joy and she licked up the smell with her nose. She crouched at his feet and she licked the mud from between his toes and he put his left foot in the space just between her shorts and her inner thigh. He brushed her long hair aside and grabbed the back of her neck with his chubby fingers. She peed from joy. He looked right into the humid black smelly hole of the Magnum 44 where the fire is going to be born. She shot him dead that very moment.
Local group companion M33 captured from Tierra Del Sol with a big RC scope and big (4k x 4K) CCD camera.
LRGB data captured with the DSI 14 RC scope donated by Terry Arnold (family) who was a great and generous astro imager and astronomer. Terry freely shared his knowledge and enthusiasm for the difficult process of high quality astro imaging. I was lucky enough to attend a few of the astro imagers interest group meetings with Terry few years ago. He accomplished amazing narrow-band imaging from San Diego city area.
Thanks to those who skillfully setup the image collection and shared it with the SDAA group. This was a nice set of data to work with.
This was started with pre calibrated L,R,G,B integrated frames. There seemed to be a good bit longer integration time on the G data so I combined as R+0.8G+B. That appeared to result in a better color balance.
There was Ha data available, chose not to use it as the Halpha regions show well already.

Regional agreement on maritime piracy to broaden scope to other illicit activity
An international agreement that has been instrumental in repressing piracy and armed robbery against ships in the western Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden is set to significantly broaden its scope.
Signatories to the Djibouti Code of Conduct have agreed to work towards extending its remit to address other illicit maritime activity that threatens safety and security in the region, such as marine terrorism, environmental crimes, human trafficking and Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.
National focal points for the code, which was adopted under the auspices of the IMO in 2009,
have adopted a resolution expressing concern at the increasing risks from transnational organized crimes at sea and other threats to maritime safety and security in the region. They agreed to encourage information sharing on all illicit activities.
Training and other capacity-building activities implemented under the auspices of the Djibouti Code of Conduct have been credited with contributing to the reduction of piracy in the Western Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden, alongside the efforts of merchant ships to implement IMO guidance and best management practices, naval forces continuing to deter and disrupt pirate activities and States continuing to prosecute suspected pirates and increasing their maritime law-enforcement capabilities.
But the focal points recognized that piracy in the region has merely been suppressed and its root causes have yet to be addressed. They agreed that, nonetheless, there is now a window of opportunity for IMO Member States in the region to implement capacity-building programmes to prevent a resurgence of piracy and to address wider maritime security issues, as a basis for sustainable development of the maritime sector.
The focal points were meeting this week (11-12 November) in the newly-completed Djibouti Regional Training Centre, which was formally opened by Mr. Moussa Ahmed Hassan, Djibouti’s Minister of Equipment and Transport, on Thursday 12 November. The Djibouti Regional Training Centre will play a key role in regional capacity-building initiatives under the Code of Conduct.
IMO Secretary-General Koji Sekimizu, speaking by video message during the ceremony, encouraged the Government of Djibouti to be imaginative in its use of the new building and to be proactive in maximizing its potential, for the benefit of the whole region. The centre could be used as a venue for wider port, maritime, law-enforcement or indeed any other training, conferences and meetings, as well as being a centre of excellence for regional maritime security training, he said.
“This impressive new centre will be a vital component in the provision of maritime security and other training in the Gulf of Aden and Western Indian Ocean area and fully supports IMO’s 2015 World Maritime Day theme: “Maritime education and training”. It should be an asset to Djibouti and to the region for many years to come,” Mr. Sekimizu said.
The national focal points meeting also approved the 2016 plan for regional training for Djibouti Code of Conduct countries.
Construction of the Djibouti Regional Training Centre was funded by Japan, through the Djibouti Code Trust Fund, with equipment provided by Denmark and the Republic of Korea.
IMO continues to support Member States to implement the Djibouti Code of Conduct through its Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme (ITCP) and through the Djibouti Code Trust Fund. It also maintains a presence in the region, focussed on the code, with two staff members based in Nairobi, Kenya, whose primary role is training.
The opening ceremony was also attended by Mr. Chris Trelawny, Special Advisor to the IMO Secretary-General; His Excellency Tatsuo Arai, Ambassador of Japan to the Republic of Djibouti; His Excellency Joseph Silva, European Union Ambassador to Djibouti, Mr. Hassan Darar Houffaneh, Minister of Defence of Djibouti; Mr. Ali Mirah Chehem Daoud, Director of Maritime Affairs of Djibouti; Ms. Mina Houssein Doualeh, Director of the Djibouti Regional Training Centre; as well as senior government officials from Djibouti. Also present were representatives from Somalia and from Djibouti Code of Conduct signatories, donor countries and international training partners.
Djibouti code of conduct
The Code of Conduct concerning the Repression of Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in the Western Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden (the Djibouti Code of Conduct) provides a framework for capacity building in the Gulf of Aden and Western Indian Ocean to counter the threat of piracy. The Code was signed on 29 January 2009 by the representatives of: Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Maldives, Seychelles, Somalia, the United Republic of Tanzania and Yemen. Comoros, Egypt, Eritrea, Jordan, Mauritius, Mozambique, Oman, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates have since signed, bringing the total to 20 countries. Since its adoption, the Code has become the major focus for facilitating transnational communication, coordination and cooperation in its four thematic broad pillars: delivering national and regional training, enhancing national legislation, information sharing and building counter-piracy capacity.
