Day 843 of "getting ready"

 Can we have students yet?

Another day of preparation. Other schools in the area opened up Thursday, but Monday for us.

Made sure my setup worked by doing a Google meet with my wife. it worked. 

How much more prep can we do? Just fiddle about more and more. 

Have yet to finish my video about taking star photos. It has been cloudy every night for a couple if weeks, but that is what the weather is like around here. Tonight and tomorrow night are supposed to be clear, but looking out the window at 5:00 pm, it looks very cloudy. Really want to see if yet another free app works with my iPhone to take star photos, running out of time. 

A couple of days later........

It did clear up! The app worked, and I finished my video. Wheee!


By the way the app I use for navigation is Star Chart

To keep the shutter open is the StarryCamera app

Rochester Clear Sky Chart

You might notice I keep stating the students do not need to buy anything, and pleading that they not buy anything. This is to avoid the inevitable push back from parents saying that I am requiring them to buy a camera in order to pass my class. You know that is coming.

When staring my laundry today, I realized next week I will have 'real' clothes in there, shorts and T-shirts are done for now. More laundry. Then it heads toward fall and winter, and I don't wear shorts on the weekend. Real laundry. 

Tomorrow is the big day...

I will let you know
