Moon

Here is another “by chance” image. I was outside early evening to photograph the rising Moon with my Canon EOS, to get a daytime shot.

With excellent viewing conditions on this cool night, I took a number of pictures of the Moon with my telescope and iPhone.

Time to start getting the telescopes out more regularly, as the weather warms but is not too warm yet.

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

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

Not too early, but early enough. Here was the Quarter Moon rising over Lake Michigan today, early afternoon.

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

I have been tracking the Great Square of Pegasus overhead.

This picture was taken before my prior post, but I forgot to upload it earlier.
