By my reckoning, this is at least the second time I have photographed the 53% waxing Moon. Compare tonight’s image with my 2024 version and let me know if you see the difference!

It’s not that I have not been looking up, only though that I have failed to write blog articles on the experiences. With this, hopefully I am back and ready to write once again!

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.

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?

This week’s lunar trek continues with another evening of clear sky and an easier target.
