Early in the morning before dawn two days ago, I found out a brilliant star just beneath Crescent Moon to the direction of East southern east with elevation angle 30. It was the first time for me to recognize a shining star below the one third moon in a dark sky. Watching it up, I thought it might be Lucifer as a preliminary knowledge, later investigation in Web site proved my expectation was to the point.
At that time I was thinking about the way of Astronomical navigation used over 70 years ago, Kawanishi Type 2 large flying boat while the WWⅡ that had a dome astronomical window for the purpose.
At the same time I remembered the greatest Physicist Carl Sagan and his famous book "Pale blue dot".
Because I'm an outsider and a stranger in the astronomy department, the devotion in that field might be very interesting from now.
As the door of the International Library is fully opened in the LCD of my PC, the way is not closed. My future depends on just my decision.
Even so, time passes not like an arrow but like a missile recently after my retirement.

My US old device, "Orbit" digital proportional transmitter speaks. Ancient device like this was almost deserted as a void, so I imagined some idea to keep this historical item on my working desk just beside LCD. 35 mm diameter small junk speakers are embed at the Gimbal position after removing all the controlling parts.
Before the procedure, an anxiety was in my planning that some low frequency amplifier must be required on the way if connected by way with head phone jack on PC, a stereo amp semiconductor or power transformer like Sansui ST32. But actually, my worry was in vain, they sound enough without some specific amplification, the power is strong enough to satisfy on my desk.

A happy new year!

I would like to say congratulation to the people all over the word.
First of all, I want to declare that my son is now at Soya Cape situated at the most Northern part of Japan in Hokkaido waiting for the New Year Sun Rise. The place is very far from Osaka and he took a Ferry from Maizuru to Hokkaido Otaru and to Soya by car.
Though I appreciate his young energy and intention to challenge in the sever condition, I never go with his group. I had experienced while my young hood how difficult and how dangerous driving in deep snowy condition especially for unfamiliar people living in Southern warm climate.
Anyway, I hope him to come back safe ASAP.
