Moon and Venus Together, May 2018

If you look closely above and to the left of the Moon, you can see stars. They were not visible to me at the time I took this picture.

I will say this for cloudy weekdays – at least I don’t have to make up excuses for not taking my telescope and camera out on a “school night.”

Just one problem, though – the Moon was approaching Full and washed much of the sky out. So I settled for looking at the Moon, mostly.

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.

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.

I had prepared my 127mm Mak-Cass and digital camera with tripod, hoping to see and capture this morning’s Lunar Eclipse event.

This format was unintentional at the start, but by Thursday I decided to trek along with the experiment as long as the clouds would stay away.

I caught a great view of a very Waning Moon rising in the East, with a bonus of Jupiter following along.
