One flight already behind, waiting for the next one (Honolulu to Papeete). More packing between yesterday afternoon and this morning, after a second Venus-TEx setup which went very well.

Two boxes for the freight (30kg and 21kg – not too bad).

– Box 1 with the tripod, the two halves of the telescope, cables for the radio setup and various other power supply cabling.

– Box 2 with the mount, the telescope lens, the radio, accessories for the mount and radio, radio laptop, CCD camera and filter/polarizer.

The rest is spread in my carry on and computer bag.

Box 2 was opened (very carefully…) and checked for explosive traces in kona. Box 1 was left alone… a good thing as its packing was challenging!

They both made it in the plane to HNL.

More from Tahiti!
