Wonderful stargazing weather. That is how I would describe last night, though I am sure some would disagree because it was a little on the chilly side. For me, the colder the better, as it keeps the bugs away. Clear sky and just a little breeze made for a great chance to see this October’s Southern showcase of Saturn, the Moon, and Mars.
I took this picture of the Moon with my phone through my 10″ Dobsonian. It had been some time since I used this equipment setup, as I have been opting to use primarily my digital camera. But for the Moon, afocal photography with a smartphone allows for the entire surface, and then some, to be captured in one image.
On a side note, afterward I used the light cannon on different parts of the sky, observing the Summer Triangle, Sagittarius, and Cassiopeia.
