Drifting into Umbral Shadow above a black ridge Cuillin of screaming teeth, the Peanut Catcher. That's some boulder aye. I've heard rumours of it being bigger than the Clach Ceann-Fine in the Coire....hmm, kids & drugs these days huh. I took these using reverse, negative-stacked imaging on DCCD through my hefty Schmidt-Cass, very low mag Baader onboard. It highlights the impact collision trails of dark dust, exactly as they settled, while the thresholds of local evolution were argued out... Negative imaging...it's like throwing Iodine at the sky aye...

Well that's me away on the Uists, Eigg & Harris-Lewis islands again for a few more remote weeks climbing, bouldering & filming, until a guiding job on the 26th. A good few projects to go at through weather windows, & as ever, the mobile is on if anyone wants to hook up for some heavy duty crimping.

Aye well Helzivan Shoosan, I can always cart the optical tube section & a few choice EPs along, next time I land on the island of underwater fart plants; that is, if you can find a heavy duty tripod with a dovetail coupler. Doesn't strictly have to be equatorial, just stable...& obviously I would go on a jolly to retrieve the said item.
A certain archaeological surveyor type, up the way, might be in the know non?...Or somebody from the Lewissian astro-club & it's vast array of 4 members.
J, if you read this after the grit-fest, I've tried to add a coherent reply on the Mad As A Lorry post below.
I should have been seeing this through the telescope too.
