Astronomy & Astrophotography

It has been a while since I looked at the Sun through a telescope.

Venus is still a remarkable and bright experience, in the West sky shortly after Sunset.

It will be a fun year. Jupiter and Saturn’s oppositions are a mere five months away. Mars returns to opposition...

Not too early, but early enough. Here was the Quarter Moon rising over Lake Michigan today, early afternoon.

The latter-stage Moon is high above. Do I have any excuses not to take a stab at photographing it?

I have been tracking the Great Square of Pegasus overhead.

This picture was taken before my prior post, but I forgot to upload it earlier.

With pending cloud cover but still otherwise clear, I decided to take a wider picture of last night’s Full Moon.
