Conditions are hazy and cloudy this Sunday

Not a good night to open the observatory but a nice evening for a bike ride.

Later perhaps I'll work on editing the star stuff newsletter for the FAAC astronomy club.

Below is a photo from my bike ride.

I've been thinking about telescope building projects lately and reading up on unusual telescope designs. I think it would be nice to build a couple of telescopes, something unusual and out of the ordinary. Maybe even something that is kind of related to telescopes but not actually a scope.

Perhaps I'll post more on this later.

One of the scopes I want to build would literally hand on the wall, almost like an artwork display until you assembled it to use it to view the night sky with. It would be nice to have a telescope hanging on the wall of the observatory as a display piece and then assemble it align the optics and show people how it works.
