With the new optimized s-band feed and the cool @lambdaprog Moroccan Sunset color scheme the LRO signal really pops out with > 15 dB SNR with RBW of 1.53 Hz. Just a test to ensure tracking and sensitivity for DM2 this Saturday. https://t.co/AReCtC8rDJ

Now that DM2 was scrubbed i have some more time to "optimize" my s-band feed. Cut off some turns to make it prime focus friendly. f/D 0.39 https://t.co/zuhXHtVE3W

Armed and ready for DM2 passes. Covering all the s-band frequencies at once using auto-recording / tracking. https://t.co/qJGWg3ssaQ

Mercury Transit of 2019
Got up way too early to capture this rare Mercury Transit. Mercury is small, about 1/3 the size of the Earth. Good thing there was no sunspots or Mercury would have been difficult to locate.
Active Region 1520
I decided to take a look at AR1520 to see the source of the recent X Class Flare. Quite the view I must say, although I still have not seen any Aurora activity here in California.
