Wow, either the bar is empty or I am up way too damn early. Countdown to Parental Armageddon is roughly two weeks and the preparations slog on. The other night I managed to grab some images of Jupiter and got the chance to test a few things. One of those tests determined that a lens I bought to help the camera collect more light has a serious chromatic aberration issue. This means that each colour of light comes to a focus at a different point leaving a ring of colour around the object that is tough to get rid of. I did manage to get a few decent images, and I present those below. Note how the colour shifts a bit when you can see the Great Red Spot; this is when I swapped to a different lens.

I also retired an old server this week. She had been running for 14 years nearly non-stop and finally gets to have a Viking Funeral she so justly deserves. New servers have been spun up, and the cycle continues. And what the fuck people? This is the last Pubski in April, meaning it's already May. MAY This year is flying by faster than normal it seems.
