The Classic, the Colours, the Puck, the Puck OEM.

I found a 5 pack of @Solarcan from one of their first production runs, so I installed this Solarcan, serial #562 (normally the ones I buy are in the #30,000 or more) for a few weeks in the spring - just to see if it was still good.

@Blhot2 @NickWebb73 @Rainmaker1973 You’re wrong. I like your confidence though

Should we delete this app?

First parcels to the USA since the new tariffs were introduced. Wish us luck!

[The SolarCan @TheSolarCan]

I’ve got to hand it to Royal Mail. They appear to have handled the US tariff situation impeccably, with a built in handling and tax collection product (PDDP)

Question is… why haven’t they implemented something similar for the EU?

The last image was overlooking the Mississippi river in Onalaska, from can #39,838. This Solarcan installation was slightly disturbed from a recent storm, and you can see the diverted angle of the sun's rays that show that the can was moved.

This image is from Appleton, can #39,806. The scan looked a little over exposed, so I processed it in black and white. The last image was overlooking the Mississippi river in Onalaska, from can #39,838.

Installing a @TheSolarCan pinhole camera between the winter solstice and spring equinox is a unique time in the N hemisphere, with no leaves on trees and the sun isn't too high, so it gets fully captured #pinholephotography #solarcan

This image is from Oconto, WI #38,294

Pin hole camera image of Ardmore g'yard. Three day exposure this week using @TheSolarCan puck. Afternoon sunlight seems to have picked out the boundary wall too. @HeritageHubIRE #secretour Old and new technology in use this week. #heritage #ireland #solarcan Sunline bottom right.

A modified mount with more upwards tilt for my next @TheSolarCan hoping to capture some window definition and also hoping to avoid much rain entering the can.

@kevin2kelly Been practicing this for years. Whenever there’s a “why?” We say - give us your best reason first. It fosters critical thinking at a very early age.

[The SolarCan @TheSolarCan]

Is this the best Solarcan capture ever?

@Nick_E4Astro Tremendous!

Get it on https://t.co/1ceoMqBAeC if you haven’t already 🌎

[Nick Williams 🔭📷✈️ @Nick_E4Astro]

So I decided to go for the complete lap, & here’s the result of a 31.6 million second (give or take a few!) exposure😀.
Apparently we did get some sunny days this year!
