Caleb's Adventures in Astrophotography

 

These photos were taken through my Orion SkyQuest XT6 Dobsonian 6 inch telescope.  They were taken using the camera on a Samsung Droid cell phone. [click on each pic to enlarge]
The top and bottom pictures were taken at a 48x magnification.  The middle pic is at 96x magnification.  Amazing, isn't it?  The moon is over 250,000 miles away, I love being able to see such detail.  I tried to take pictures of the moon with a standard camera but it never worked quite right.  The cell phone camera has a smaller aperture and it worked great.  ~Caleb

A Fun Friday Night with the Nissleys :)

Playing outside...

Looks like the competition was fierce!

Another game they enjoyed a lot.

And one of the reasons for our visit... going to the workshop to check on Caleb's progress...

The band saw :)  Caleb needed to use this to make cuts for a project he's working on.

Intent, isn't he?

And what is everyone else doing while Caleb works?

Lessons from Grandpa

Oohhh... looky at the pretty colors...

What have we here?

LOL!  Playing with magnets, I think.

And what is this?  A wooden circle mounted to a bicycle rim.  It's a spinnable screw holder!  How clever!!

Caleb's miniature duck decoys!  The basic cuts are done and now's he's finishing them up.  :)

We had such a great time.  Burgers and hot dogs on the grill and lots of good visiting all around.  God has richly blessed us :)
