My Newton 900/114

For past 10 years I used this Newton reflector. However past 3 years not that much. That is also the reason why I am playing with the idea of selling it to someone who will use it more. It is quite good one for the beginners of amateur astronomy, ethusiasts of starry sky and other stargazers. I made some photos yesterday:

Our Wedding

“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”  When Harry Met Sally... (1989) In the midst of a global pandemic, when the future was so uncertain, we knew that it wouldn’t be a traditional wedding.  Our wedding planning all started months ago in our small Upper West Side studio apartment. We began planning our wedding together the day after we got engaged (but if you know anything about Mia, you would know that she had really been planning her wedding day since she was a little girl). Without all the answers and with a lot of moments of “wait..., what!?”, we began planning the day that would mark the beginning of our lives together. And like in the movie quote, we both agreed that we wanted that day to start as soon as possible, before the situation with COVID-19 in New York, and in the world, got worse. Truth be told, the process was anything other than what we expected wedding planning w...

... Shenandoah River

“Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River”   John Denver: Take Me Home, Country Roads Shenandoah National Park is relatively close to NYC. It was May and we already knew that we were moving to Boston at the beginning of June. We only had a couple of weeks to visit this park by car since the distance from Boston would be too ... distant. Sure, there was a lot to pack and do but the mountains simply couldn’t wait. We hit the road early in the morning on May 22nd. The visit of West Virginia was not optional. We made a stop at Harpers Ferry.  We had dinner at a restaurant along the river and of course we made a quick stop at the Appalachian Trail Visitor Center (unfortunately it was closed due to COVID). Harpers Ferry was a beautiful quintessential small town with historical landmarks. At the end of the day we built our tent in Low-Water Bridge Campground . The Shenandoah river was flowing right next to our tent but we were so tired that we did not end...

Bialetti Moka Express

Nie že by som bol veľký milovník kávy, ale mám ju rád. Resp. stále sa ju učím piť spôsobom, aby som nebol na nej závislý a aby káva mi chutila ako nápoj. Našťastie viem, že je to možné. V byte máme stroj Braun na prekvapkávanú kávu cez papierový filter a po pár mesiacoch používania som zistil, že mi tá káva z neho vôbec nechutí. Vyriešil som to pridaním mlieka (laktosefrei) alebo umelým sladidlom. Doma na Slovensku máme jednoduchú malú espresso mašinku a pri troche neskromnosti poviem, že s ňou viem spraviť celkom dobrú kávu na nedeľné poobedie. Dobré espresso je ale dosť drahá záležitosť a preto som občas nejak pretrpel tú šálku kávy, ktorú som preplnil umelými sladidlami. Minulý týždeň som si povedal, že umelých sladidiel mám dosť. Nerobia dobrotu môjmu tráviacemu traktu. A hneď nato mi došlo, že budem musieť vyriešiť prípravu kávy tak, aby mi chutila bez prísad. Narazil som na dobrý blog Viktora Klima (aj a hlavne o káve ). A narazil som naňho tak, že som zadal do Google výraz - ko...
