About

Refugee from The Winchester. Amateur lot of things including astronomy, photography, and mucking about with classic cars (owner). Leccy car owner. Owned by two cats, slept on by a beagle, shed on by a Golden and tolerated by Mrs S. Head of Technology Strategy at The IET. If this takes off, it'll be the starry nights, Scholarly Publishing, bits of old MGA, a rant or two. Bit of F1, and probably a loathing of the Tories /GOP

In 2020 I turned a cheap (wine fuelled) purchase of an above ground pool into one surrounded by raised flower beds and a decking area. It was a Covid lockdown project. Its 9pm. Its still 30 degrees out, and this is the best DIY project I've ever done! Only problem is, I gotta get out of it I guess. I'm lucky that I have a sash window. So i used a piece of thin mdf (cardboard not really strong enough tbh) and cut two holes to take the input and exhaust vent. You should do similar if your window opens outwards, and make a couple of triangles to seal the top and bottom. 8/ Right then UK folks who have a rubbish single hose portable air conditioner - here's your quick guide to converting it to a dual hose and thus making it a LOT more efficient. 1/an amount And here is the widefield view of the conjunction with Mercury highlighted once again. #Astrophotography Just a beautiful evening to photograph the #conjunction of #venus and #Jupiter (feat. special guest planet #Mercury ) This was taken around 22.30 BST from the windmill at Brill in Oxfordshire. #Astrophotography Quick opportunist handheld smartphone snap of Venus and Jupiter sailing into the west.
