Just Moon

The Moon is now significant higher than Venus after Sunset, and fuller. So I took my digital camera and tripod outside to take the above picture.

Despite the unseasonably cold chill (the reason I have not posted anything for several weeks), I set up my camera to take this photograph.

The beaming Moon, contrasted to the blurry haze of last night’s, was too tempting a target not to get my camera and tripod out.

Auriga is in an interesting part of the sky for another reason, as the boundary between the surrounding star activity.

With an excellent view towards the Western horizon on Sunday night, Venus and Mercury were easy to see.

The thing about Gemini is that there is no obvious outline to the constellation.

After I took my first true pictures of Orion early last week, while pleased with the results, I felt the images were still lacking.

My first thought was, oh crap, I almost forgot about that! I further completely forgot that Venus and Mercury would be very close tonight.

Though I missed taking a picture of the Full Moon on March 1st, I did get this picture the following night of the early Waning Moon.

Waxing Moon notwithstanding, these conditions were perfect for tripoding my camera and trying out my new wide-field lens.
