It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Inspecting My Telescope
This is another photograph from Astronomy Day. I Loved watching the children who visited look at my telescopes. In this photograph, two sisters were examining my home-made Newtonian scope. What makes it a "Newtonian" is that it doesn't use a lens to make the image - it uses a mirror, in the bottom of the square wooden tube on the left hand side of the photo. They were laughing because when they looked in, they were not expecting to see reflections of themselves from within the telescope.
