Description

Almost missed it due to clouds but it cleared up in time to take a few pics. It was still cloudy near the horizon so i couldn't take pictures while the moon was setting, that would have been a nice view. Still it was a wonderful gift for "astro-Christmas".

Description

The photo shows a full moon rising over a wind mill at the wind farm just outside Beaumont, Kansas. Sunset was at 5:20 that evening and Moonrise was at 5:09 so the sky was "balanced" in light and I was able to capture the mill and the Moon. http://members.cox.net/myerphotography/AFace-0385.jpg

I just replaced my broken camera back with a digital one. I wanted to see what kind of astronomy pictures it took, so I pointed it at the moon and bang! The lasers are the landing lights and the red photon torpedo is a strobe on an airliner.

Description

It is fun to decorate my observatory dome for different holidays. For Halloween, I make it up to look like an enormous Jack-O-lantern. After putting the eyes, nose and smile on the side of the dome, I softly illuminated the dome with orange lights. It looks like the Great Pumpkin rising out of the pumpkin patch behind the fence. It certainly attracts more Trick-Or-Treaters on Halloween than I ever had before!
