Well-Framed Early Waxing Gibbous Moon, May 2020

With excellent viewing conditions on this cool night, I took a number of pictures of the Moon with my telescope and iPhone.

Time to start getting the telescopes out more regularly, as the weather warms but is not too warm yet.

The Moon was not my only target. Stay tuned in the coming days for more images from tonight’s session.

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.

For those of you that were able to see it, the Moon and Venus were very close that night.

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

But I figured if you’re going to do it, might as well be done on the shortest daylight day of the year.

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?
