Computer Looking Up

Lazy Late Summer

Greetings. It’s been a while since I posted, so wanted to do a “check in” post.

I biked four times this past week. There was a very noticeable uptick in path traffic, a combination of the nice weather and being a Sunday.

The image above was the most spectacular, captured very early in the session.

This was the closest I’ve seen a planet to the Moon in the few years of this blog.

I watched it and felt a sense of loss, that soon, this comet would never be seen by me or anyone else again for thousands of years.

Continuing the series of images from this past Friday night were shots taken of Jupiter and Saturn.

Its early crescent was already low when dark fully settled, trapped within my western treeline.

A small break from the comet and stars and planets.

I tried an observation only since the sky had some patches of openness towards the Northwest.

Of all the views I have seen myself so far of Neowise, the simple view from the Dob has been my favorite.
