The New Hotness

  • Walkway Over The Hudson: Moonwalk Views

    The Walkway Over the Hudson has regular “moonwalks” that feature lectures on astronomy, telescopes, and suchlike.

    I’m a sucker for the terrestrial views. Looking north-northwest toward Kingston, with the Catskills in the distance:

    Walkway evening view - NNW along Hudson
    Walkway evening view – NNW along Hudson

    A bit later, looking southeast toward Poughkeepsie:

    Walkway evening view - SE toward Poughkeepsie
    Walkway evening view – SE toward Poughkeepsie

    The trouble with amateur astronomy: mostly, it happens at night.

    Taken with the Canon SX230HS braced on the railing, then aligned and slightly tweaked.

    [Update: Some info on the LED lamps along the Mid-Hudson bridge suspension cables.]
