That's just a sweet image! Very clever, Merg.

Mattk,
That is the very FIRST image I have ever seen taken with an oscillo-raptar. Based on what I have heard, I have assumed those lenses were, as Tin Can noted, useful only as paper weights. I have one of the Wollensak shutters that is marked for an oscillo-raptar, and I believe the shutters are the reason for buying one. But you made a very fine image of the two peppers. So another assumption proved wrong!

It was a plastic Davis Mark Master. No, I don't have it anymore.
I really didn't need the Astronomical Almanac for navigation, of course. I once ordered full-precision planet and moon ephemeris from the US Naval Observatory that came on a big magnetic tape. But the coordinate data was referenced in the Terrestrial Dynamic Time (TDT) scale. So I had to dive into the astronomical end to learn about all the different time scales, how to use and where to find the data to convert between some of them.
