Day 298

Sunday, November 13, 2016

A somewhat wavery Moon.  The air seemed more unsettled the higher it got.  It is usually worst on the horizon.  I am going moon hunting with Walter and Ken tomorrow again!  {!-{> ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 297

Sunday, November 13, 2016

Way behind…here is tonight’s super moon… I went out last night with Walter and Ken. It was a bust.  Too many clouds near the Highwood Mountains. But we met as the Camera Club up at the Airport tonight. Pretty good results! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 252

Back to Nevada City! A couple of my Milky Way photos. I think my sensor is getting old in my big camera.  There is getting to be lots of red dots that aren’t there!  At least on the long exposure in the dark photos…. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>
