Just no luck...

Posted by bodiddlie

I haven't had a chance to really get out and observe lately. I started getting up an hour earlier to go work out at 5, which means that by the time the sky is dark, I'm wiped. That and the skies have been fairly cloudy lately, leaving little to look at. I have looked at the moon a few more times though. I think I want to start trying to observe it with a map by me so I can start to pick out individual features.

I took some time during the cloudy nights to build my own shutter release cable for our Canon XTi. I'd never done any kind of electronics work, so it was really fun to do even it was a super simple circuit. I'll post a picture of it later.

Oh, and I'm trying to infect the kids with the astronomy bug at a young age. Wonder if it will work?
