The night sky

Jupiter is finally starting to appear.

And lately the International Space station has been passing overhead.

It was a nice night

Last night was a nice nice for sky watching. It was cool enough to get a nice view of Jupiter. There were at least 6 moons visible.

Because of the difference in the planet and the moons, either the planet will be overexposed....

Or the moons will be underexposed.

Back to skool

It's been a while since I posted. time to see if the blog still works. I usually take summer classes but some medical adventures prevented that. It's been a while since I had the whole summer off. I did a little night photography.

Jupiter through my 'scope. It's kind of a PITA to set up for photography, but it's worth it.
