Kōkeʻe Lodge, Kauai - LRIS slitmask
A slitmask for the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer at Keck. A lot of my time in grad school was spent designing these slitmasks. Each of the slits corresponded to a (candidate) high-redshift galaxy whose spectrum we wanted to collect. - Kauai af

This young boy with a kinked tail let himself in to our cottage in Kauai. He let himself back out when some chickens got uncomfortably close to the lanai. - Eclipse setup
Camera position for photographing the lunar eclipse over Kawelikoa Point, Kauai. Planning for the eclipse was done using The Photographer's Ephemeris on my iPad, with on-site confirmation using the augmented reality mode of PhotoPills. The eclipse was on the first full day of my first visit to Kauai, so I wasn't sure how it would work out, nor was I sure how to get to the location I selected. My wife and I did some advance scouting the afternoon before, but only had time to go partway. The full hike from the end of the dirt road where I parked ended up being a little over a mile, over a combination of beach and trails. I benefitted tremendously from OpenStreetMaps maps that I downloaded to my GPS app, MotionX-GPS. The maps had excellent coverage of the trails, and allowed very efficient route-finding. I recorded my track to the shooting location so I could retrace my steps back to the car in the darkness of the total eclipse. - One Shot #45 | Good Friday
