I am new to Schmitt/Cassigrain telescopes, and would like any info regarding the collimation of the 750mm C5 telephoto lens. Thanks in advance.

TEXAS SPINEY LIZARD

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
This guy is resting after a highly animated mating session. I think that this is a male due to the blue colored patches on his body. About 12 inches in length.

It is, (drum roll please), a feather from a Great Horned Owl.

Carolina Wren House

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
I hung up a couple of Bluebird houses this year, but like every other year, they failed to show up. I took the roof off of one and hung it up with the bottom against the wall. Within three days the Wrens began nest building.

Cicada

I think that the red dots on it's (forehead?) are eyes. Am I right?

Texas Spiney Lizard Eggs

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
I discovered these in a knothole in a log on my firewood stack. They are round and aspirin sized in diameter. I hope that they hatch as we need all the bug eaters we can get.

Texas Gecko

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
For the past three years, we in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area have seen a dramatic rise in the Gecko population. I don't know the exact name of this type, but we love em. The adults are about six inches long. Cockroaches have all but disappeared since their arrival at our house.

I have not been able to identify this large netweaver. It's body is about an inch long. The web is about 2.5 feet in diameter. The spider is nocturnal. It completed it's web at 10:00 PM and had removed it by 5:30 AM. I have never observed the abdomen design before.

Mediterranean Gecko

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
Taken at 10:15PM last night. These insecticide substitutes have been in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area for at least four years. One could not ask for a better house guest.
