There’s just nothing to say about this. It was fantastic!

Lunar Occultation of Aldebaran
My favorite image of Aldebaran being occulted by the moon. This was before it happened, but I love how you feel as if you are flying over the moon. Very reminiscent of the Apollo 11 moon landing. I feel like Neil, Buzz and Aldrin looking out over the moon.

Lunar Occultation of Venus
Do you know how difficult it is to find a sliver of the moon on a bright sunny day? I’m really surprised I saw this, much less imaged it. These were taken at the eyepiece with my Canon Rebel DSLR. Occultations by the moon, are common, especially Aldebaran. Unfortunately, very few are seen in the […]

Occultations by the moon, are common, especially Aldebaran. Unfortunately, very few are seen in the continental United States.
Comet!
My first Comet image. It’s faint, but it’s there. First quarter of the screen, a little more than halfway down. If you can find it on the screen, I’d say your ready to find one in the sky. Nicely imaged earthshine, I might add as well.

Karma
This is what I get for being a good parent. One of my first long exposure images of the sky with my G16. My teenage son was with me and I told him to go dance around with a glow light in front of the camera. I don’t think I need to explain what he […]
This is what I get for being a good parent. One of my first long exposure images of the sky with my G16. My teenage son was with me and I told him to go dance around with a glow light in front of the camera. I don’t think I need to explain what he was drawing. Needless to say, it’s a happy accident because we laughed and laughed when we saw it and there’s nothing quite like hard laughter with your child. In the end, I did manage to get a cool image of long exposure light, but the one above, will always remain a favorite.
Oh Moon Moon
This was the first AND last lunar eclipse I imaged, special thanks to the weather. It always seems to be cloudy during astronomical events. Taken with my G16, this was one of the first images I ever did with it. Little did I know that the secret of lunar photography was lens size. (300mm+) I […]

Taken with my G16, this was one of the first images I ever did with it. Little did I know that the secret of lunar photography was lens size. (300mm+) I now have a 300-500mm lens for my DSLR for lunar shots. Now, I am desperately waiting for the next lunar eclipse that happens on a clear night. unfortunately, it’s going to be a long wait. January 21, 2019. It better be clear.
More information on when lunar eclipses are and where you can see them, can be found on NASA’s website.
