Talking Re: The Straight-Up Cam

The bungy idea didn't work well as some of the camera controls are on the back that I treated as a bottom. Tomorrow I plan to design & build a custom SUC enclosure to accomodate the circumstance. I have some concern as well about condensation developing on the SUC overnight.
Clouds moved in for awhile & then cleared & I have my first view of the stars. (The SuperNightshot mode is required for star observations.) I have the star Vega in the constellation Lyra just South of my frame center.
I have noticed that a part of the house eve is in the frame & so provides a perfect scale as the rafters are on 2 foot centers; tomorrow I'll measure the height of the eve from the SUC's focal plane.
This concludes this irregularly scheduled SUC report.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
