A Good Day

I did something impossible in August: I walked to church (1.8 miles) in freezing weather this morning. 

This evliloening I had an unexpected patch of clear sky for a while.  The clock drive is tracking perfectly.   I have a slight balance problem in the altitude direction, more obvious since I waxed the altitude bearings.   I was adding weight at the mirror end.  Not entirely done.  I made the final adjustment by adding an adjustable wrench.  This is inelegant because it hangs low enough to drag on the ground in some positions.

I photographed the Moon and M42.  I have done no astrophotography since I bought the new house last March.  My heart and the weather were uncooperative.   I will process the video and stills tomorrow.
