Re: OT - Any idea about this optical gadget?
MArk, Matthew, Thank you both for your interest and help. I am pleased you also found this gadget intriguing. First, I must correct a typo for future generations who will look into this case: >I've found this tubular thing (9 - 22 cm in length, It is 9-11 cm in length. Matthew, your suggestion looks very promising I should say. The gadget is conceptually similar. It is just smaller. Also the ends of the tube seems to be designed for human eyes (consideration of viewing point). The image is just a band of rainbow. It may well be an "off axis guider" for another system. Perhaps, a microscope! I will look into this and if I find anything to satisfy our curiosity, I'll share it.

Re: OT: Another stupid question ...
There's a measles outbreak here at the moment. It's causing a massive rush on immunisations and we're waiting to hear back from our doctor about whether we should get our daughter's second dose early (it's not due for another 18 months). Our district health board included the following in an article: "People are considered immune if they have received two doses of measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine, have had a measles illness previously, or were born before 1969." The measles vaccine was introduced in NZ in 1969; before then it had been circulating widely enough that anyone born before then is considered to be immune. They don't seem to mention anything about a decline in immunity with age. I think having had it yourself you should still be immune. YMMV... talk to a doctor :) > On Mar 8, 2019, at 6:08 AM, John wrote: > > ... but I know there are medical professionals on the list who might know the > answer. > > I'm almost 70 years old, and I'm pretty sure I DID NOT receive the measles > vaccine as a child.

Re: What Kind of Critter?
Yes, all the same, and all in a straight line. There are some coyotes in the wooded area behind my house, but they generally don’t come very close.

Re: Another stupid question ...
John, FWIW, I've been reading that those over 55 are much less prone to get the measles. No I'm not a medical person but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express ! Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: "John" Subject: OT: Another stupid question ... ... but I know there are medical professionals on the list who might know the answer. I'm almost 70 years old, and I'm pretty sure I DID NOT receive the measles vaccine as a child. I had measles while I was in grade school *before* the vaccine became available. But all the stuff about measles in the news lately has me wondering ... How long does immunity last after you've had measles? Should I get a measles vaccination at this late date?

PESO -- After the Recital.
I've been going through my directories culling duplicate files, to make some room, and came across this image. Well almost this image. It was originally titled; oh sorry after someone poked their head into frame as I was pressing the shutter to see what I was doing... I did a bit of judicious editing on this rendering to get closer to what I originally envisioned. https://pdml.updog.co/webster26/PESO%20--%20After%20the%20Recital%20.html Equipment: Pentax K20D w/SMC Pentax 43mm Limited f1.9 Rendered in DXO Optics Pro 9 using Filmpack 3 as TXP with a Dark Orange filter.

Good guess, but like cats, a fox has only four pads.

I would think not a skunk because I see no claw marks, and skunks have non-retractable claws. Not a raccoon as they have long toes and narrow feet with a pointed heel. It has been decades, though, since I've had to identify other paw prints. Dale H.

OT - Any idea about this optical gadget?
I've found this tubular thing (9 - 22 cm in length, about 2 cm in diameter) in a thrift store. There is a single lens in each end. It has moveable parts like a mirror that rotates 360 degrees around the tube. During part of this travel it faces an oval hole on tube's wall where one can see a tiny prism inside which can intersect the tubular axis by moving a lever from outside. Directing the gadget toward a light source and looking at from the less populated end of the "tube" I see a typical rainbow. (Light travelling from one end to the other crossing the prism inside). Moving the lever properly while light reflecting from the mirror enters inside (and is reflected to cross the prism) makes two adjacent rainbows visible at the far end of the tube. Oh well! I am not sure if I was able to describe it... Anyway, I ask just out of curiosty. Has anyone ever seen something like this? https://www.flickr.com/photos/bc_the_path/sets/72157707409395914 Bulent - http://patoloji.gen.tr http://celasun.wordpress.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bc_the_path/ http://photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=2226822 http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artists/bulentcelasun -- 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.

Re: OT: Another stupid question ...
You could ask to be checked for measles antibodies.
