Great Red Spot Makes a Cameo

May 7, 2017

Starlog May 7th, 2017, 9:50 p.m. local time

This night produced a bunch of astrophotography goodies: a near Full Moon, Jupiter, Jupiter’s moon, some separate, some together, and at different detail levels.  I will be sorting through all my source images throughout the week.  To start, here is a closeup of the Moon through my 10″ Dobsonian taken with my smartphone, post-processed to bring out additional sharpness and contrast.

I am not sure if it was just the atmosphere or the special brightness of this month, but I was surprised and a little alarmed at how the sky was brightened. There seemed to be a higher-than-usual glare from this Moon that washed out most stars.  It felt like I was living in the city again.

I have been fascinated by space since childhood. My interest in technology also runs deep, rooted in fond memories of the CRT-anchored desktops my father tinkered with in the early 1980s. Professionally, I have spent over 30 years immersed in the technology sector, serving in capacities ranging from programming and IT to project management. Outside of work, my passions lie in astrophotography, astronomy, and philosophy. At my blog, I explore these interests, and I hope you will join the conversation.
