The nuclear phase of the expedition is now complete, after one last pass through the museum today (which included getting a look at the back, where a number of interesting display models are stored). The numbers:
Sunday: 810 photos, 3.9 gigabytes
Monday: 519, 2.41
Tuesday: 192, 1.0
Some of these will be trimmed out… out of focus, or pointed at the floor, or excessively redundant, etc. A few will be crudely edited… a lot of the photos show details of display pieces with a tape measure for scale, and a hand holding the tape measure… and sometimes a good chunk of my whole person. Can’t have that. No friggen’ selfies.
So if you want in on this, now is the time. Now is the end of the time, in fact. Next time I get to a motel with good wifi (or, barring that, get home), the options to buy in will be removed. You can get the PayPal button to get the complete set of photos on DVD (and the option to get an early prototype version of the resulting book of nuclear weapon diagrams) here:

After finishing up this afternoon, I launched south to see the Very Large Array. The dishes were scattered to hell and gone, rather than bunched up close; this reduced some of the photo opportunities. Bu I still managed a few interesting shots.
