The reasons for my absence are Astronomy and the piano. I've been trying to do astrophotography, and it is much more difficult than I could have believed. I have also been trying to learn to play the piano..... The piano requires about 3 hours a night, and astrophotography requires every single second of clear dark sky that is available. I'm no good at either yet, but I am sort of getting there with the astrophotography. I used to do Astrophotography. It was easy. NASA sent me all the data from a $250,000,000 satellite, I ran it through several megabucks of computers (with all the power of about one iPod), displayed it on a $30,000 screen (now called a VGA), and then took a picture with a 35mm camera. All I had to do for them is give them about 80 hours a week of my time. |
