Brotherly Fun


My favorite brother was up from Louisiana recently.  We had a very good visit together doing a variety of things, one of which was some "glass time".   Here he is shooting pictures of the moon (in daylight) using the Celestron C8 on a Vixen Porta Mount and his Nikon DSLR attached directly to the scope via a T-Ring.  We went out later in the dark and he was able to take some nice shots of the same target.  And, he wore a shirt to match the scope - which I thought was very kind of him.  If you look really close, his watch also matches.  He has always been a snappier dresser than me.

Family matters.  The older I get, the more it matters.  We had a good visit together, although I was a bit busier than I would have liked to have been.  Sharing these moments together meant a lot.
