Sun/Moon Size Comparison in Winter (Northern Hemisphere)

After photographing both the Sun and Moon with the same equipment, I compared the images side-by-side. Is an eclipse possible?

After I photographed the Sun the day prior, I used the same equipment to image the Moon. In this article I compare the setups.

This Lunar Eclipse was very similar to January 2019’s, the most notable difference being that the red was nowhere near as vibrant as in ’19.

The string of consecutive pleasant-weather days and nights continued, though this late afternoon was tempting the streak.

Continuing the daily series this week of evening astrophotography sessions, tonight I focused completely on the Moon.

As promised, the Moon has appeared to creep closer to Venus.

This is a rare view of the Moon. Looking through my archives, the only time I photographed a similar phase was after the 2017 Solar Eclipse.

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

I intentionally rerouted my evening walk so I could get a better perspective on both the Moon and Venus.

On a side note, I missed the Perseid meteors this year as the sky was bad most of last week.
