Software updates

What I've been doing lately is working many hours to improve the camera control softwawre - SebebTec. I am making it more reliable, and adding more features. Next on the feature list is a Starlight mode. Really it is just a long time exposure that will engage when it detects the scene has become dark after sunset. Now we can watch the moonrise and see the stars track along the night sky.

I can hold the camera eye open for 60 seconds. I'm working on setting the ISO to 800 which for some reason doesn't seem to 'take'. So more experimenting is needed. It does do a pretty good job though as it is. Soon we can see how well it works.

O'day Mariner 'Vinland' - Sailing on Sebec Lake

If you can't beat 'em join 'em. Good steady breeze and steady rain made for a good sail. I had the lake mostly to myself on this day.

Kiwanis Auction - Dover-Foxcroft, Maine

We like going to the Kiwanis Auction in July. It's a tradition in DF for a long time and I have been going since I was a kid. Watch the video to see a coffee maker auctioned for a good cause (and hear a real Maine accent).
