Just sent my 1967 Questar telescope out for a standard Questar service and some special repairs. I was so excited when the shipping container arrived at my house, and WOW! It looks like a brand new scope and the optics/eye pieces cleaned up amazing-like. #telescope #astronomy #questar

#dinoriders was a staple of the #80s. 🦖
Sadly, it never even had a console game.
I am imagining a #gameboy game where you play as Questar and get to ride different #dinosaur friends, here with #deinonychus.

Tiny black dot on Saturn. Early this morning, I photographed a rather rare astronomical event, a shadow transit of Saturn’s largest moon Titan across its parent planet. This is a composite of two frames. Questar telescope /Olympus camera. Observed from metro Chicago. #astrophotography

Twice in its 30 year orbit, Saturn’s rings appear edge-on as seen from Earth. Now is that time. My image was taken with an Olympus M4/3 camera attached to a Questar 90 mm telescope in west suburban Chicago.

Here’s a slo-mo video of the Tiangong space station passing in front of the moon taken a few nights ago from my side yard. Actual duration time of the pass was just under 0.5 seconds.
