Early Evening Moon in Early June, 2022

Usually I attempt to center my Moon images, but tonight I felt it better to off center and magnify, to accentuate the limited surface area.

Early Saturday evening, I doubted I would see the Lunar Eclipse. But the clouds broke close to midnight. At my blog is my full account.

The weather forecast looks very bad for Sunday’s Lunar Eclipse. In preparation, I adjusted my telescope setup, as explained at my blog.

Take sky viewing opportunities when you can. Tonight’s incredibly warm Spring temps and clear night were ideal for imaging the Moon.

After what felt like months, the skies finally opened from the continual murky overcast, to reveal the Sun at day at the Moon at evening.

This weekend presented my first opportunity to finally attempt photographing lightning. I captured on the first very image.

Tonight’s telescope session nearly did not happen. Clouds rolled in fast. I did manage literally one good shot of the Moon, featuring a crater.

Can you help me identify this bird? For years, I have been tracking it, and recently was able to photograph the creature. Read more at my blog!

When the Moon approaches Full, for better or worse, it becomes the only practical night sky object to photograph.

Weather conditions and my availability aligned perfectly tonight to take this picture of the Moon from my telescope.
