晴朗的夜晚適合聽露天演唱會與上山看星星/ M51 and Friends/ A Magician of Night

3/29
不用多說了。二十年前沒參與到，二十年後一定要來。
大安森林公園。
下午到時舞台前早已擠滿人，所以我們便到左後方的大螢幕前的草坪。
小朋友們很高興。從頭跟著唱到尾啊。
現場聽起來今天阿信的聲音絕佳（沒有有時候看演唱會側錄的youtube時聽起來覺得鼻音有點重）。

今天試著用red enhancer , 周圍看不出有什麼明顯的色偏。

透明度不佳，東南方低仰角的SQ值約只有18.55。

跟星星工廠訂製了一支給K-ASTEC腳架用的35cm的延長柱，原廠的延長筒太短了。

kenko red enhancer

用家裡的實驗用小石英碘燈和光譜儀測一下。red enhancer 因為濾掉了一部份的Na燈的光，可以當作非常非常輕的光害濾鏡（用在城市裡便不夠），觀測地的天空暗度必須到達一定的暗度才有推一把的效果。

4/1 

今晚的透明度比前幾天好多了。北方SQ達到19.9的水準。溫度一樣是十度左右，但因為風很小，所以並不會像三月底一樣覺得冷。

拍一張狗狗的視角。星空下，沒什麼急著要去的地方，沒什麼急著要做的事。

今晚用red enhancer 拍彗星，使用相機的自動白平衡很不錯。

這幾天我的好友Jeats完成了我收在部落格的 詩三昧 分頁裡的現代詩（除幾首台語詩以外）的英譯，過陣子會開始翻譯漢俳的部分，歡迎批評指教。

original poem〈M51，及其朋友〉     

english translation by Jeats

M51 and Friends

Two boats encountered on the sea speechlessly

They were already fighting before waves

Father took the child’s hand

Glancing at the other side of the sea

That vortex is the fake of painting cloth

The star-painter let sun shine through and became the shadow of spruces

A snail raced with the bear in a zoo

Windmill had already waited for more than twenty million years

Lollipops were displayed in the show window

Colorful candy shined the light of enchantment

The night was a LP record

Every dust (with you and me) was a gramophone needle

＊＊＊

original poem〈夜之魔術師〉 

english translation by Jeats

A Magician of Night

Sometimes a glimpse on the stage with the head up

Seeing the magician slowly hiding

A black and mysterious garment

Covering all the stuff on the small round table

Whether if he at that vector speed

Pulled up that black towel

Except for the stunning strong light eager to jump out 

Suddenly endless visions were illusions of Self-nonsense

Or they just disappeared into nothing

Maybe put it this way the somehow rookie 

Magician would finally derive

A successful performance. Unsurprisingly

at the forgivable and loose words of program brochure

He memorized everything he got to do before the curtain falling down

To every theatre to find:

They used to incline the bodies and lower heads blushingly

Trying to streatch out their tickets

To recognize whether their tickets were even numbers

Next to each other 

If you hesitated and held your hand backwards

You looked up and found those girls

All missing without a trace

Said “sorry” or just a greeting

Close to the ear of the intimate partner around you 

Spoke of words of warming hearts, such as 

This kind of stuff you would understand; however 

Outside the theatre it was hard to make things realized

另外，最近把C6等幾個鏡頭賣了，買了一隻較大的 (8吋)，個人蠻喜歡的，也覺得是藝術品的高橋MEWLON 210 （我給它取個名字叫美濃瓜，因為顏色外型都有點像），DALL-KIRKHAM 式反射鏡。遇到貴人用很便宜的價格讓給我。此外，我也向另外一位朋友收了品項一樣很不錯的二手EM2s赤道儀來載它，因為用我目前的Pentax MS-3承載(6kg)不夠。對高橋產品不熟的我後來得知高橋剛開始推210時搭配的赤道儀就是EM2，所以，我應該算是讓他們團圓在一起呵）
