GESOS June and July faves
I'm nearly through processing my photos for June and July, so while the faves sets *might* get another photo or two, I'll call them good enough for now. June faves: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157683650976591 July faves: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157683735957503 And here's a slightly different selection for tomorrows photo club meeting, the theme for this month is heat, but I also liked some of my critter pix so I stuck them in too: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157684390052694 I hope all y'all don't find them too boring. -- Larry Colen, ellar...@gmail.com (postbox on min4est) http://red4est.com/lrc -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com (postbox on min4est) http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Solar Eclipse in Midwest?
After cleaning up the volcanoes and feeding the dragons, I finally had a thought about what we should do for the solar eclipse. Since Texas is not in the totality path, we are entertaining an option of taking a 2-day trip to drive to the totality path, so that my daughter can see such an event. (Driving there on Aug.20, staying overnight at some inexpensive hotel [I actually started worrying if they will be all booked at this point], and then driving back shortly after the totality.) It turns out that several areas along the path are within about 12-hour driving distance from us: from Southern Illinois (or even Kentucky) to several destinations in Missouri, to Nebraska. It would be a big disappointment to drive that far and to be covered by clouds. After looking at this information: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2017/06/16/how-to-avoid-clouds-that-could-spoil-the-great-american-eclipse/?utm_term=.6527b0f3aec1&tid=a_inl , we are thinking that Carbondale, IL, Jefferson City, MO, or rural Nebraska south-west of Lincoln (in the vicinity of I-80) could be the best options. I was wondering if anybody in Midwest is considering going to the eclipse totality path, and if so, - where? Darren, if I am correct, you are close to that part of Nebraska, right? We are considering somewhere in the vicinity of the intersection of I-80 and Hwy-81. Any recommendations on what would be a good place to observe the eclipse? (An advantage of Nebraska is that it might be possible to drive somewhat east or west to go outside a local cloud in case that would happen.) Do you know of any fun observation points/events set up in that area? (I am aware of https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/event-locations , but couldn't find anything happening in that part of Nebraska.)

I note that all of your suggestions are in close proximity to large state universities.

Re: Solar Eclipse in Midwest?
Hi Igor, Yes, I live in the path of totality & the center line crosses exactly 1 mile north of my workplace in Alda, NE. The Crane Meadows (I80 & Alda exit - just west of Grand Island) is hosting, as is the town of Ravenna, NE (directly on the center line about 45 minutes NW of Grand Island. Homestead National Monument, near Beatrice in SE Nebraska is another place. Other Nebraska options: http://neclipse17.com/ Hope this helps.

I'm really hoping that someone on the list just has this information hidden away somewhere, because I just can't justify buying a measuring device for a single purpose, and in this particular case Google is not my friend. I'll bet there's a NAPA or CarQuest parts store nearby that has them & if you take the lens there they'll measure it for you. Especially if it's one of the stores that still has a machine shop in the back.

When it was originally released sometime in the late 70's early 80's it was shipped with a lens hood, and has a large diameter front filter ring, which is unmarked, and why would it be? After all, those front filters were and are extremely expensive, and it does take rear filters in a much less expensive 30.5 mm diameter of which I fortunately have the full set. However the lens hood disappeared sometime before it came into my possession. Given the cost of a decent lens hood in 95mm diameter or greater, (I've measured the inside diameter and it might be 101mm), and the difficulty with returning an inexpensive lens hood to China, I'm loath to order one that might not fit. The slip on plastic lens cover has an inside diameter of 106mm so 112mm the next common size up from 101mm is out. Unfortunately my tools and aren't very accurate for measuring the inside diameter of the lens threads, (simply a metal rule in inches and metric), and there's more than enough slop for the diameter to be anything between 95mm to 103, the later of which would be just a nightmare to find. -- America wasn't founded so that we could all be better.
