30 minutes each day at my lunch break, at least four days per week, to learn and practice coding with Python is not much, but it's something, and if done consistently, it adds up to quite a bit. #PythonProgramming

My cell phone pictures through a 203mm telescope, zooming in on successive shots. The last image identifies craters by name. Things to notice: 1) Sinus Iridum is partly buried. 2) Rays of brighter material fan out from Kepler Crater. 3) A mountain peak within Lansford Crater is visible in close-up.

Lunar eclipse through varying clouds. It was nice to watch even though I couldn't get a clear image. (Cell phone camera on a 203mm newtonian telescope.)
