Jupiter with Great Red Spot, October 2022

It took weeks trying for the right chance, but I finally was able to decently photograph Jupiter and its Great Red Spot this year.

After Jupiter opposition this year, I started using my MacBook as a camera screen extension. In this article, I show results from over a week.

I decided to end my home Linux experiment. Here I explain my original drivers and my final decision to shelve Linux indefinitely.

Tonight was my first opportunity to try photographing the Moon with my new iPhone. All in all, it went well, I think, for this inaugural attempt.

I detail my process for finding the planet Neptune, using Stellarium, binoculars, and finally sketching through my Dobsonian telescope.

It’s been a while since I included any of the Galilean moons in a posted Jupiter image, so here is for making up lost time, through my Dobsonian.

I decided to upgrade my home WiFi from a LinkSys AC router. My new Asus ZenWifi mesh got off to a great start, until the node stopped working.

I love my reliable ’13 Ford Escape. But the dash computer has always been sluggish. I explain how I upgraded to SYNC 3 & now have Apple CarPlay.

Finally needing to upgrade my iPhone XS, I went ahead and pre-ordered an iPhone 14. Will the updated technology produce better Moon photos?

On the morning of 9/1, I shot the videos which made up his image of Jupiter, likely the best I can do with my entry-level DSLR camera.
