Wind & Sky: August 2009

Reflections on sailing, astronomy and photography. Sunday, August 23, 2009. Musings on My Granddaughter's Bright Future. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I'm a typical doting grandfather when it comes to the first of our kid's kids, Kaili. At almost 2 years old, she's a bright, curious, happy girl. And the fact that I don't have any daughters of my own surely doesn't influence my attitude towards her. Then it's good to know the barriers are lower than they've ever been.

Busier than I expected and I've not spent nearly as much time on astronomy. Tonight I did something about that. Although the next full moon is a few days off, the view through our 60mm Parks refractor. Many times parents came up from the street to take a look, too. Usually with the same response. I got to look at the moon! Posted by Nathan Eaton Jr.

Reflections on sailing, astronomy and photography. Wednesday, June 6, 2012. 2012 Transit of Venus. 2012 Transit of Venus. Originally uploaded by neatonjr. Did I mention it was hot? It was ironic that we were all out there anxious to see the sun but also wishing for shade. And with the sun so low and the heat in the 90s, the turbulence was pretty bad so pictures and video weren't as sharp as they could have been but, wow, it was still an amazing sight. Only another 105 years till we get to do this again.
