Weather permitting I've been doing a nightly quick observation of Jupiter -- and saw three moons again last night with the binoculars. An hour later I was thinking of taking the telescope out for a better look -- and the cloud cover was 100%. I guess there's a lesson there. I'm somewhat lazy about these nightly observations -- if i can see it from the deck, that's best. if I have to run around outside in the lawn in the dewy darkness the evening that the lawn-guy's been here -- that's less likely. I love having acres of trees on the property, but they do obscure much of the sky from here.

Oh, that cloud cover from last night? Still dripping here.
Projects being worked on besides Ghost Ship? A couple of proposals.
My brother and his wife just finished a vacation -- they came to Augusta and we had a great breakfast visit and I also showed them the local Tim Horton's. Then they did a bunch of their geology touring -- fossils,minerals, plate tectonics! -- and ended up with snow showers near Lake Placid on their way home. Cool!
So what's your geology passion? Me, I like quartz, and perdiot, and subtle colored gems. I am NOT a fan of augmented colored stones, no.

2010-09-09 02:42 (UTC)I'm personally partial to volcanic eruptions, weird sink holes, earth quake cracks where the two sides slip dramatically sideways from each other, and that cavern in Mexico filled with huge, GIANT crystals, but it's so hot that scientists can only go in wearing specially cooled environmental suits, and even then can stay less then an hour.
