- Trying to bridge the RS232 port on my Meade LX200 8” telescope to WiFi using a WiFi serial bridge. Frustrating.
- Should this serial port be
9600,7,n,1or8,n,1? Remembering how much this stuff used to suck. - Example IP address in WiFi-Serial bridge
123.456.789.222. Uh huh. - “No response from mount.” Enough RS232 fun for today. Will try again.

Do yourself a favor and watch a rocket take off.
Miss the launch or want to see it again? Watch as #Cygnus lifts off today at 4:44pm ET heading to @Space_Station:https://t.co/Qal0PSlC95

Winter announcing its arrival with ice on the shoreline.
The mine tour here is worth the trip → Lake Vermilion-Soudan Mine first new state park in 30
Bet this was one heck of an RFP. Congrats SpaceX!

S’mores anyone? 🔥🍫
Hoping Luminos from Wobbleworks comes to Apple TV. Would be super fun.
Impressed with Wobbleworks Luminos!
Had no idea they make WiFi to serial port bridges. Looks like I might be able to run my Meade LX200 from my iPhone after all!
Lunar Eclipse 2015
We had a fun night in our neighborhood tonight watching the lunar eclipse with a number of our neighbors. I got out the 70-200/f2.8L and put the 2x doubler on it to see what I could capture on my camera. Really brings the red out.
