Really enjoyed the eclipse last night, even tho it was cold and windy. Brrrr! It's pretty surreal seeing the winter Milky Way and Fall Zodiacal Light together with the red Moon. One of the pleasures of living far away from city light pollution.
I made an animation of the eclipse up to a few minutes beyond peak. This eclipse was a partial (95%). Had to call it quits shortly after cuz the cold was zapping my camera batteries and my coffee had worn off.
Not sure if Twily knew this or not but that camera trigger is programmable. She could've set it to take pics every few minutes so she could stay by the heater (worth every penny, btw)
Enjoy!

There's a lunar eclipse later this week and Twilight forgot to unpack the rest of my telescope gear. Batteries need to be charged.... she's slacking

@Phosphor Well, that new autobiography of Starswirl the Bearded just came out. She’s been a little busy reading that.

Flame spreader for one of my large center draft lamps came in. This thing looks new old stock cuz there aren't any wear marks and the brass is still shiny. The old one is missing the spreader ring. The lamp functioned ok but produced very smelly exhaust.
These lamps seem like crude instruments from the 1800s, but there's actually some impressive engineering behind the components. Flame spreaders are designed to regulate airflow to the wick and burn off unspent fuel. After warm-up, the lamps produce virtually no odor. The central tube draws fresh air from the bottom of the lamp, which keeps the fuel in the font from overheating.
The result is a nice cozy tabletop fireplace
