I was able to photograph the Moon on back-to-back days this April. You can compare the 43% Moon to the 53% version 24 hours later.

More testing and trials of my new Celestron 9.25″ telescope, this time against the 43% illuminated Crescent Moon.

In case you have not heard, there was a solar eclipse earlier this week. But on the day after, the Moon started its next cycle, and I captured this extremely thin and jagged crescent.

I was not planning on another Moon photo session this year, but being the weekend with an ultra clear sky, I did not want to pass this opportunity up.

If I do not write again Anno Domini Two Thousand and Twenty-Three, I hope you, dear reader, have a good weekend and turn toward the next calendar, and please be ready for more blog articles in 2024!

This one is not exactly a Full Moon, but it is close, on the other side of true Full. And it is likely the last Moon I will photograph for 2024 unless some ideal conditions open up.

This being Christmas, I decided to have a little seasonal fun with today’s image. I previously captured an airplane and geese flying near or through my view of the Moon. Is it so difficult to believe that Santa Claus himself could make a cameo on this of all nights?

For my several astronomy readers out there, it has been a while since I posted a good astrophotography image and article. I hope this one makes up a bit for the absence.
