I miss seeing the cherry blossoms in Japan.

Radu, I love your dog. Always love seeing his pic. He's got lots of character, even sitting still.

Peppy, LOL, good thing I wasn't drinking when I read that or I'd have sprayed the monitor.

Byron, what even happened to your numb hand/arm? Why the two tone front valance?

Shot with a 300mm lens and Canon Rebel XT

Messier Object 1, the crab nebula, just a faint spot to the right of the brightest star.


Messier Objects 36 and 38, two star clusters


Messier Objects 31, 32, and 110, (31 is the Andromeda galaxy) The other two are galaxies that are small and fuzzy to either side of the big one.

Nice Steve, I was hoping you'd post more night shots. I need to drive out to a nice dark area and get some constellations.

Doc said most likely nerves, but have to go back
The bumper is painted like this vintage 914-6 race car, my 914-6GT clone street car is the same color.

Two tones were used to differentiate cars by the pit crews.....other rides used alternate sides or had solid colored bumpers.

thanks Steve! You are the first person that made me aware of his"star" factor. I've learned of the whole snoops thing from you!
Another friend of mine gave me a "dog fancy" magazine last week telling me there is a good article about Neos in it. What do you know, Bentley is on the cover of it and he's got a full page spread on page 64... Funny how he manage to make himself famous!

New kart trailer with cool graphics. My lads are stoked. 1000 times better than our old clunker trailer.

I can't believe you aren't stuck...Hummers are awesome, and I am glad to see you are using it the way it was intended.

Here a couple of me in my Xterra.








This one is my friend in his Xterra....who is very stuck, and ended up with water floating in his cupholders.

Yes, I'd like to visit a dark site to do some more practice as well. I recently got a smallish scope. I'd like to get a T-ring adapter for my Canon. I wouldn't be able to shoot stars because I don't yet have a tracking mount, but I should be able to shoot the moon and or planets with it.
