Hubba Hubba

The Hubble has a fancy new camera!  How about this for spectacular?

Zane has expressed interest in learning astronomy.  He also has a fascination with photography.  How awesome would it be to go into astronomical photography?  Or photographic astronomy.  Or whatever.  I know he's young, but I think it would be the bee's knees...as long as I didn't have to study the physics behind it all.  That makes my brain hurt.

I'll stick with my 7th chords, vocal performance practice and conducting and admire the pretty pictures.

I worked on some image processing algorithms that are still used on Hubble now. And it is not an easy field of astronomical photography to get into and it does not support living cost most of the time.

Astronomy is literally awesome; I wish sometimes I went into the field.
