Lunar Eclipse

If anyone is interested, take a look of the pictures I took of the Lunar Eclipse on August 28, 2007. Sadly, I could not take any more pictures of it after the eclipse, cause the sun was already up and it was really cloudy.

On another note, I plan to build a remote control for my camera (i have everything i need except this one function), so I can control it using PTP. However, the wikipedia page on PTP links to an ISO standards page. However, it is not free to view, and costs $$$. Instead, I will now have to read the gphoto2 source code as it supports PTP. Sounds like a fun project!

About robotgeek

Rocker, philosopher, Mac lover, geek, robotics freak and an optimist. These describe me adequately, i guess! When I find time away from my lab, I love to code my robots using java to be compatible with robocode . I also make it a point to visit Slashdot or read on Wikipedia . Of course, all this has to be done while listening to Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Metallica or Pearl Jam, mostly on Shoutcast online radio . I also like to read. Though I don't find much time now, I generally stick to what I like, which is Ayn Rand. Let's just hope the world heads in the right direction 2004 has been the year of the blog, and I could not be left out!

    How are you going to build the remote?

    I am interested in using a remote for my camera also.
