Thats cool, but where can you find 57mm Dogs to walk? (rimshot) Surreal picture, that poor pooch, it has the same look my dog has the moment any camera points at her.

Hi:

The Red Planet captured (at 5:57UT) two nights ago during an all nighter. You can see a very large transparent shield of clouds over Mar's southern polar regions. Meade 10" SCT and SPC900NC working at 30fps and running for one minute and fifty seven seconds. I processed the best 520/3476 in Rv4, hope you like it. Cheers, Dan

Gorgeous !

Sticker Unsticking and Resticking

Posted By Mike Clemens

I refurb'd a nice set of adjustable weights that had the stickers all crooked. A hair dryer did the trick in a couple minutes. I used Ronsonol to clean up the residue left behind and get the old surface spotless (great for plastics, potentially unsafe for paint or other surfaces.) And then stuck the stickers back down and heated them again and smashed them in well. The Scotch spray adhesive is an excellent idea.
