From our 2003 trip to Ireland This is past the halfway point of our last trip to Ireland. Will I have enough pictures to take us to the next one? Probably. Work is going to keep me very busy the next couple of weeks. Sunday, June 28. 2009Bored puppyPoor guy. It's too hot to be outside and his humans are being boring. I'm working in the living room so he's just going to settle in near my feet and wait for one of us to take a break and play with him.
Such a sweet, patient boy. Sunday, June 28. 2009

From our 2003 trip to Ireland This is past the halfway point of our last trip to Ireland. Will I have enough pictures to take us to the next one? Probably. Work is going to keep me very busy the next couple of weeks. Tuesday, June 23. 2009Jupiter June 23, 2009It was another good morning for observing. I set up the scope at 4:30am and started out by observing Jupiter for a bit and using some fuzziness I saw along one edge to tweak the collimation of my scope. I know I can get better collimation out of it but I got as good as I could pending more practice. I moved on to M31 for a bit and attempted to find a couple of open clusters (no luck, probably the magnification was too high) before moving back to Jupiter and its moons Io, Ganymede and Europa in order outward from the planet. I tried to get a picture and was partially successful.
It's a bit fuzzy but not too bad Sunday, June 21. 2009
What you know may be bullshit Posted by Michael Harrison

This leads them to think that I just don't believe them but it goes deeper than that. Continue reading "What you know may be bullshit"Sunday, June 21. 2009Poochie Cone!After the last post, I had to post a cute picture of Chip, our rescue puppy. Susan and I took him out to the park last month and it was quite hot at the time (not the balmy 100 degrees it's been lately) and while we were getting cones for ourselves, we got a poochie cone for Chip.
He loooooovvvvvved it. Sunday, June 21. 2009Stay away from PetlandWhile Susan and I were running errands yesterday we saw several protestors outside a local shopping area. We didn't get a good look at the signs they were carrying at first but saw that they had Petland on them. Our initial reaction was "shit yeah." We aren't even remotely fans of Petland and have never come out of their stores thinking anything nice about what we found. When we passed by their store my blood pressure went up and I had to stop to take a picture.
As mentioned in the linked WFAA story this store has a particularly bad reputation. Stay away, just stay away. Further stories:

Saturn, June 15thI haven't come close to mastering taking a photo through my telescope yet. Heck, I haven't completely mastered aligning the thing but I have been having fun attempting shots of Jupiter and Saturn. The Moon has been relatively easy since it's so bright but the former two have presented a challenge. I got an "ok" shot of Saturn a couple of nights ago though...
It was taken through the eyepiece with a Canon S400. If you look closely at the "left" side of Saturn you'll see a small dot that is one of its moons, Titan. Saturday, June 20. 2009Scary sounding meetup groupAlright, Susan and I are part of a couple of meetup groups so we occasionally get information on new groups. One came through this week that sounds just a bit scary. Magnus Entertainment Club
