Equipment

Canon 10D on tripod, 17 - 35mm lense at 17mm, f2.8 aperature, 20 sec. exposure, iso 800

Description

I observed the Aurigid Shower last night at Onyx Summit above Big Bear, off Hwy. 38. Caught this meteor going just below the constellation Orion. I observed for a couple of hours. During the best hour from about 4 to 5 a.m. we saw about 35 meteors with a couple of outbursts of 4 to 5 a minute. It was short, but awesome.

Description

While much darker than the 2004 eclipse, and hampered by both the rising sun and ground smoke and mist, this obscure sequence shows the moon setting behind the lighthouse at Ponce Inlet. Ten exposures, timed accordingly, were captured on one frame in this multiple exposure.

Equipment

Tele Vue NP-101 on a home built alt-az mount Canon 30D @ prime focus

Description

Photo of the moon just after naked eye determination of the moon entering totality (full eclipse). The darkest and most red eclipse I've seen in the last 20 odd years. It will be interesting to learn if other east coast observers have similar comments and if they differ from the west coast views.

Description

Lunar eclipse over San Luis Obismo taken with no mount at about 10x zoom. Rather tricky, given the makeshift stabilization of gravel and small pebbles (and many takes) to get just the right shot.
