Day 341

Saturday, December 9, 2017

What was up in the Sky last night!  Moonrise!   * * And those same photos cropped to 100%…they are unclear because the Moon was seen through a LOT of atmosphere at this angle, and that much air can be very unstable. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 340

Saturday, December 9, 2017

What was up in the Sky last night!  (If you click on the image a couple of times to enlarge it, the stars are clearly visible.) I don’t know what was reflecting the stars on the ground…I thought it was a stubble field! (It is actually the stubble reflecting the moonlight…) Orion was clearly visible; […]

Day 339

Saturday, December 9, 2017

What was up in the Sky last night!  (If you click on the image a couple of times to enlarge it, the stars are clearly visible.  The Big Dipper is very clear to the left side; Orion is on the right side.  The red rocket, again, is at no extra charge!) A four photo panorama! […]

Day 338

Saturday, December 9, 2017

What was up in the Sky last night!  (If you click on the image a couple of times to enlarge it, the stars are clearly visible.  The Big Dipper is very clear on the upper left side.) First indication! Just a little peek… There it is!  And the red rocket at no extra cost! ~Curtis […]

Day 309

Monday, November 13, 2017

I got up and was out in a field before 7am….Here is Mars.  The Moon did not want to cooperate. Of course the real reason for such an early morning: Jupiter and Venus rose together! I wasn’t able to see the Moons of Jupiter; too much early morning light!  But I did get the windmills […]

Day 285

Tuesday, October 24, 2017

I just stepped out the back door to see if the Northern Lights were out, and I saw the Big Dipper lined up along the tree line.  This is at 1 second, f2.0, 12mm, ISO 3200, handheld braced against the door frame. (Heh.  Star photos hand held…gotta love an f2.0 lens!) A second photo taken […]
