I loaded up the pinhole camera last December Solstice to get a Solstice-to-Solstice solargraph over the New Forest Observatory domes. Here is the result of a 6-month exposure time.

I’m Back!!!!!
It’s been a long time since I posted on here – sorry for the absence.
After a very long break I have just resurrected the photomicroscopy rig. Here is one I’ve done before just so I can get back into it again, gently.
As this has been restarted again as a Winter project I hope to post a lot of new microscope images for you to enjoy over the next few months.
Orchid over the New Forest this morning.
Taken with the Canon 5D MkII and the Canon MR-14EX ringlite.
Rescued this little beauty from the greenhouse.
Taken with the 5D MkII and Canon 100mm macro lens with the MR14EX ring flash.

The missus spotted my favourite spider in the Roses just now, so out came the macro and I caught him 🙂
A New Prime Number
A new Prime Number has been found using the mega-computing array at the New Forest Observatory. The new number is: 4324748322195*2^1290000-1
Sierpinski pyramid 3D print
110 hours and 38 minutes later out came a Sierpinski pyramid in Rigid.Ink black PLA, 162mm along a base edge and 0.2mm resolution.
Another murder in Brockenhurst
Good use of camouflage in this murderous ambush!
Some more macro work in the garden
With all the hot weather we’ve been experiencing in the U.K. lately, I have had to go out most nights with the hose to stop the Missus’ plants from perishing. I noticed Superhydrophobicity at work on the Bulrush leaves so I went out today to macro the effect. Wasn’t expecting my little mate to be there as well. I am always amazed at the length of the antennae on these little beauties.
