    New album of sketches

    Hey all

    Spent a week in Marathon, Texas (at the Marathon Motel) from Oct. 20 to 26 to observe southern galaxies which are low on, or below my horizon at home in Saskatchewan. Regrettably, the first three nights were cloudy/rainy but the final three nights of my stay cleared up nicely (though dew was a persistent problem). Managed to pull three all nighters (nice to know this is still possible in my declining years!), so the trip was a success. I’ve posted scans of some of my sketches in an album called “Marathon Sessions” which you can access by clicking on “Ciel Extreme” and selecting “view profile”. Here is a sample from the album:

    18" f/4.5 Litebox reflector (travel scope)
    22" f/3.3 SpicaEyes Slipstream reflector (LittleTime Observatory)
    25x100mm binoculars
