11/12/2024 The Moon

Here’s the Moon from around 6:30 PM. 300mm zoom lens on a Canon T8i. Shot over my garage roof which in hindsight might not have been the best choice. Heat shimmers, you know. 18 individual frames stacked and processed in Photoshop. Each layer after the bottom used a blending mode of multiply and an opacity of 12%.

11/10/2024 Moon and Saturn

Here are the Moon and Saturn as seen about 7:30 this evening. They are even closer now, around 8:30. The Moon is so much brighter though Saturn is hard to see without binoculars. I had to take two exposures and merge them. This was show with a 300mm zoom and my Canon T8i camera.

Where have I been?

In case you’ve visited my site and wondered where I’ve been, the day after I posted the picture of the comet I was in a car accident that among other things, broke my leg.

I was taking most of my family back to the soccer fields to see the comet when someone t-boned us at full speed. That totaled both cars and sent my daughter and me to the ER. I got a fractured fibula out of it and will wear a walking boot into January.

That said, I might try some light duty photography tomorrow.
