Finally mounted a Nikon P-223 scope with a Wilson Combat quick-release scope mount on my modern sporting rifle (MSR) and fine-tuning the sight-in at the 100-yard line at Frontier Sportsman's Club - Fountain range.
I did okay with iron sights at 100 yards (and beyond), but a good optic makes a vast difference in hitting small spots 100 yards and beyond.
Used hand-loads consisting of Lake City brass, 24.0 grains of IMR 4895 powder, CCI 41 small rifle primers, and some generic 55 grain blemished FMJ bullets. The results were sub-MOA at 100-yards with the Rock River Arms AR-15.
Timed, self-portrait early Monday morning...
We say "I love you" about 50 times a day, for about 8 years now. And we never tire of hearing it. However I think people around us sometimes gag.
Here is a Time lapse of one of my imaging session's on my trip to Galloway taken 07.11.13 with Canon 1000d and around 1900 frames.

My 13.1" homebuilt dobsonian telescope disassembles to fit in a regular suitcase. The telescope is fully motorized in Alt/Azm using stepper motors driven by Onstep. The red box in the suitcase houses the electronics for reading the mirror/air temperature, driving the mirror cooling fan, and operating the wireless microfocuser (all of which is done by an Arduino UNO board).
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 scope combines infrared and visible light cameras with a miniature passive radar system to find your enemies on the battle field no matter where they try to hide!
I'll get back to you on the code...
My girlfriend randomly gifted me with a silly-scope! I'm one step closer to working on stuff at home, in boxers, with a beer at hand. Much better prospect than doing it in my school's furnace of a lab.

I have a four 3W Cree LED system (two in the front, two in the rear) installed on my Linus. It has a Shimano Nexus HB-NX50 6 volt, 3 watt alternator hub that seems like it should be useful for running other things on the bike. Unloaded it outputs up to ~20 V AC. The LEDs are used directly across the alternator output since it doesn't make sense to use additional diodes to rectify the signal.
In the Hackspace area I found this snazzy Philips PM3010 scope. For added "Brazil" effect, it has a magnifying lens over the CRT face.
DPAC activists deliver protest letter to Minister for Disabled People, Maria Miller (MP) : London 13.02.2012
Campaigners from Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC), Hammersmith and Fulham Coalition Against Community Care Cuts (HAFCAC) and the Right to Work Campaign (RtWC) protested outside the Department for Work and Pensions against the government's decision to abolish the Independent Living Fund (ILF) in 2015.
New applications to this critical funding resource for the most vulnerable people with severe disabilities was stopped in 2010. The protesters are very concerned that this has all been set in motion without any proper consultation with disabled users, and neither has there been an equality impact assessment of the effects ending the ILF will have on people living with disabilities. This, claim the protesters, violates articles 4, 17 and 19 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, to which the United Kingdom is a co-signatory.
Article 19 [Living independently and being included in the community"] states that "Disabled people have a right to live in the community, with the support they need and can make choices other people do". It also states that they should be included in things that other people do, and all countries signed up to the Convention must: "Make sure that disabled people get the help they need to live in the community; this means things like getting personal assistance."
In addition, the United Nations International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) states that "Disabled People have the right to enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health and have the right to an adequate standard of living".
As such, the UK has a duty to work progressively, to the maximum extent of its available resources, to deliver these rights, even in a period of economic downturn.
David Cameron's government, however, claims chillingly that funding disabled people is "unsustainable", yet we see billions of pounds in corporate taxes remaining uncollected by huge corporations and individuals who have wined and dined government officials and ministers, and we have witnessed the squandering of further billions of pounds by this government on consultants and failed IT systems. It seems to many that the government is more than happy to pour good money after bad to fund its favourite ideological political projects, yet there is not enough money to keep the most vulnerable members of our society out of the new-wave of Victorian Asylums.
Supposedly a ring-fenced resource for a priority group of disabled people with high support needs which provides a much better quality of life and independence which could not be provided by local authority funding, the loss of this fund will undoubtedly result in many severely disabled people losing their independence and finding themselves warehoused in unsuitable care homes, where, once isolated from the outside world, it is believed that many will suffer neglect. Maintaining some control over the provision of good quality care is hugely important to this small group of vulnerable users, both in terms of physical help, but also in terms of human dignity and pride.
The loss of the ILF will also mean many disabled people will no longer be able to do paid work and contribute back to society by way of income tax, further marginalising this already-demonized section of British society which has been under constant, sustained attack by the government since coming to power in 2010.
