Wesley's Tool-Box

Here is all my recent observations of Venus through Canon SX50 HS in one picture. I think it shows pretty well how Venus dramatically approaches Earth while being in the inner orbit. The last six observations have been posted in the blog before:

[2013-10-30] [2013-11-17] [2013-11-30]
[2013-12-07] [2013-12-21] [2014-01-04]

The first two didn't look much on their own, so I didn't make an entry about them when they were photographed, but they make for a nice comparison, so I included them here now.

The Iridium 42 featured in today's "The Toon-Box" was a frame from the series of burst shots I made with iPhone 5S. You can see the video of these shots as this YouTube video.

Device: iPhone 5S
Settings: 30mm - ISO 320 - 1/15s - f/2.2

Here's how the first 3D prints out of Makibox look like. The bottom layers are slightly warped, but otherwise looks okay. There are slight curling up at the bottom edges because it did not fully stay stuck to the hot bed.

I think the Z-axis calibration can mitigate this issue, because I've seen the nozzle moving a bit too high up from the hot bed as it printed. I'll see what I can do tonight. Meanwhile, keep reading for more photos.
