Dreaming of Another World

What can be said about dreaming of life in another star system?

The Moon has now passed by the Sun three times in the sky since the Great North American Eclipse of 2017.

Ghostly clouds and autumn leaves bring you tonight’s Moon on this last day of October.

Sometimes the quickest astrophotography snaps yield surprises. I was not even trying to include the plane, honest!

These early Waning phase days are a reminder that astrophotography can be done all day and all night.

As you can see, my view was a tad narrow, but you can easily make out the side of Scorpius anchored by Antares.

When is the Moon truly full? If you look at my image above from last night, taken with my digital camera, you may believe this is a Full Moon.

It is entirely possible that my filter opinions are just that, and yours may be different.

I have been searching for a way to accentuate the stars based on their brightness, short of manually blowing them up.

The best way I can confirm/reconfirm which dot was Pluto would be to sketch the area around HIP 94372 once Pluto has moved significantly.
