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.
10/14/2024 Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas
Here’s my latest image of Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas, taken Monday evening around 7:30 PM from the soccer fields on Highway 300, Little Rock. This comet is incredible, even under the waxing gibbous Moon and lingering twilight it stretched from the crook of my thumb to the end of my index finger at arm’s length. Go see it.
This image was made from 78 one second shots at ISO 3200, f/6.3 and 189mm focal length. Stacked and processed.
