New Spring Moon

April 7, 2019 Paul 722 Views 0 Comments Moon

Since my last post on January’s eclipse, I have observed the night sky when opportunity presented itself.

Like last year’s, the Moon began to form an unnatural crescent, and yet unlike last year’s there formed a reddish hue as it reached totality.

Possibly the worst characteristic of our Sun is that it is so bright.

Wonderful stargazing weather. That is how I describe last night, though I am sure some would disagree because it was a little chill.

I would like to say that today’s image was made possible from careful planning and thoughtful execution.

A nearly Full Moon was on clear display tonight, lighting up a pleasantly mild July evening.

What is neat about lining all three images side-by-side is that they were taken with the same telescope and same equipment setup.

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.

We’re about a month from the last rendezvous of the Moon and Venus.

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.
