Camera, Cards, and Jupiter Today

Camera

I just purchased a web camera that's going to be used in my research.  It's a Logitech C525

I'll be attaching a 1.25" eyepiece barrel to the front of this camera (wish me luck!) so I can slide it into the focuser of my (or any) telescope.

Sofar, I've identified three projects I can do with this camera:
  1. Jupiter observations
  2. Occultations of stars by asteroids / planets / moons
  3. Detecting lunar impacts
The camera is expected to arrive in a few days.  I'm looking forward to using this new tool to continue my research!

Cards

I've ordered new business cards so I can finally start spreading the word about the work I'm doing.  Here's a picture of the card:

Jupiter Today

I've begun a daily podcast that I'm putting up on a YouTube channel.  Not sure exactly where this project is going, but now I'm committed and looking forward to doing this indefinitely.
