Trees and Planets and Light Pollution

I took this picture with my iPhone quickly as I was packing up my telescope on Jupiter’s opposition night.

I am under no illusion that seeing galaxies is possible from my location on Earth.

I have wanted to go back to my original wide-field views and…refresh them with this process. Today I bring you an updated Leo the Lion.

On May 31st I took a good sample set of Jupiter images to attempt an animated GIF.

With clouds, the equation changes a bit, so I scaled the shutter all the way up to 1/50 to get this (cropped, as the surroundings are all black).

Last weekend I went on an extreme hunt (from the safety of my driveway) to find the normally-shy seventh planet, Uranus.
