Moon on April 5th, 2020

The Moon was not my only target. Stay tuned in the coming days for more images from tonight’s session.

It has been a while since I looked at the Sun through a telescope.

Venus is still a remarkable and bright experience, in the West sky shortly after Sunset.

For those of you that were able to see it, the Moon and Venus were very close that night.

It will be a fun year. Jupiter and Saturn’s oppositions are a mere five months away. Mars returns to opposition this year.

The latter-stage Moon is high above. Do I have any excuses not to take a stab at photographing it?

With pending cloud cover but still otherwise clear, I decided to take a wider picture of last night’s Full Moon.

As with Jupiter, I relied on all of my past experiences for the preliminary camera settings, specifically for ISO and exposure.

Another benefit, I believe, of the new camera is that I can finally process a Drizzle in Autostakkert.

A non-photographer taking pictures in a hobby he knows little about, and then writing about it all in a venue not his forte!
