Weather Reports from the 2019 Lunar Eclipse

Don’t Try This at Home
Possibly the worst characteristic of our Sun is that it is so bright.
Late Crescent Moon, October 2018
Wonderful stargazing weather. That is how I describe last night, though I am sure some would disagree because it was a little chill.
Goose Moon
I would like to say that today’s image was made possible from careful planning and thoughtful execution.
Waxing Gibbous Moon, July 2018
A nearly Full Moon was on clear display tonight, lighting up a pleasantly mild July evening.

This is my first good image of Jupiter in 2018. The focus was near-perfect and about as good as I am going to get with my equipment.

I don’t always photograph the Moon in broad daylight. But when I do, I try to include a former world’s tallest building, for perspective.
