Five weeks. That is how long I had to wait from my first session photographing Leo the Lion to my second.

Here is a tip for checking camera settings on an image. Most newer cameras should store these settings as part of the image file’s metadata.

The important aspect of this picture is that it captures all of Jupiter’s Galilean moons.

We usually never see a late afternoon Moon.

I am pleased with the amount of stars I captured. Can you see Polaris and Ursa Minor?

I am still learning to use my DSLR camera for telescope astrophotography as well as this new magnifying lens, there is much room for improvement.
