I really must add an item to my Reminders list. Otherwise this blog will only be updated when I run across the maintenance app on my iPad, and that is becoming a rare occurrence as my iPad habits become more ingrained.

And while I’m here, let me note that posting and updating through the app has been a lot smoother than trying to connect over Safari on the iPad, where any attempt to go back and modify a post has resulted in a crash. I haven’t tried to make edits in quite a while, so I’m not certain whether this is new behavior or not, but it’s certainly irritating right now.

I’ll try to post a couple of LX-7 images in the next week or two. I picked one up through Kijiji a couple of weeks ago, but I haven’t done much with it yet as I am wrapped up in a reno project at home. I can say that the improvements over the LX-5 are somewhat mixed in value. The lens is better, but I can’t attach the camera to a telescope anymore. I was trying out the LX-5 for solar observations (difficult to get the exposure correct) and had hoped to replace that camera entirely, but it looks as though I’ll have to hang on to it until someone figures out a method for attaching the LX-7 to a scope. Bad news for birders, I suppose, but not a major disadvantage for other users.
