a good chat

Caught up with my good buddy Tony dS. Man, he makes me laugh. He shared he was irked with all the good images coming out of Venus when he only had 4 shots. But he got a good shot of comet C/2017 T2 (PANSTARRS). I hope he'll share that. He complained to me about my early morning planet report after Elaine elbowed him out of bed. Ha! He reported having all the gear now for spectroscopy and that he's keen to start some projects. We talked about telescope and camera resolution. I shared my image of Venus and the Pleiades and how it was all due to Rhonda and thankfully my barn door tracker (which I reminded him he helped me build) worked with my heavy old zoom lens.
