A Meteor During the Eclipse

During this month’s Lunar Eclipse, I witnessed a bright and large meteor streak from approximately Zenith into the Southwest.

This Lunar Eclipse was very similar to January 2019’s, the most notable difference being that the red was nowhere near as vibrant as in ’19.

After being a longtime WordPress user, I decided to host my personal blog using Ghost. Did I make the right decision?

The string of consecutive pleasant-weather days and nights continued, though this late afternoon was tempting the streak.

Continuing the daily series this week of evening astrophotography sessions, tonight I focused completely on the Moon.

As promised, the Moon has appeared to creep closer to Venus.

This is a rare view of the Moon. Looking through my archives, the only time I photographed a similar phase was after the 2017 Solar Eclipse.

I thought it would be a calm, uneventful Saturday, with nothing scheduled, no major tasks, a simple day that I could steer at my own pace.
