Telescope envy at the International Astronomy Show
Still makes me smile - from GCHQ a few years back
![[Image description: A joke in a box in the middle of the image asks 'Why do coders mix up Halloween and Christmas?' with the answer being 'Because Oct 31 = Dec 25'. On an orange background behind the box are a number of Halloween-themed icons including cauldrons, brooms and witches hats.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6tf75n33biv2yfgtuuzaifxl/bafkreiheppaioa4ti2i7i6zemtzvgrp3k5yi7njrvdqirhyg47ei52jbvq@jpeg)

Now I've got a bit of spare time, I can start on this #jigsaw #puzzle that I've had knocking around for a while. It's only 500 pieces but there's quite a lot of black! #nasa #star #constellation #moonscape

Just finished my latest #kit project. A desktop #planetarium from Astro media. Got to say some bad misprints in the instructions and some instructions that were really not very clear, a diagram or two wouldn't have gone amiss. All in all about 12 hours work and an unbelievable amount of glue!

I spent 4 hours yesterday afternoon making this #model of the #discoveryspaceshuttle. It's the smallest, most fiddly model I've ever made. The tags connecting the pieces together are tiny and need very careful fitting.

So today I'm trying some #solarphotography with my #daystar #solarscout. I really need a better shade for the laptop #astronomy #solar #sun #astrophotography

Testing my new #solar #telescope in Knighton Park, #Leicester. Nice view of some #sunspots #astronomy. Warning - Do not try this at home unless you have a specially constructed telescope made for solar viewing. You will destroy your eye.

Had an amazing time at the Within Temptation #gig/concert last night. I've been wanting to see them for ages and finally they have their own tour in the UK rather than playing support
