Jupiter was finally up at a reasonable hour, but atmospheric conditions didn't totally play along. The photo isn't what I was hoping for, but it's nice to see Jupiter again for the first time in almost a year!
Read MoreThe clouds are finally clearing, the weather is warming, and I had a full moon coincide with a good space station pass. Hard to ask for more!
Read MoreI was finally able to get back outside after over a month of seemingly constant cloudy nights. I tried a photo stitch with stacked images of the moon. I get some additional clarity, but I’m not convinced it’s a huge jump in quality.
Read MoreA beautiful pass of the space station tonight! Sadly I lost tracking right at the peak of the pass, so I may have missed my big shot!

Read MoreMy first attempt at photographing a lunar eclipse, and it’s our last one for a while!
Read MoreTaking pictures of satellites over 22,000 miles away, and it turns out you can also see that stars have widely varying colors!
Read MoreTrying for long exposure photography of geosynchronous satellites. It worked, but didn’t really come out how I was imagining. Live and learn!
Read MoreMy first Iridium flare! They’re going away soon, my first may also be my last!
Read MoreIt turns out that editing your pictures can make them look really nice, who knew?
Read MoreMy first foray into image editing with DarkTable, and it’s blowing my mind
Read MoreA first try at night photography without the telescope. Learning the right settings to achieve the image that’s in your head is much harder than I thought it would be.
Read MoreWhen the moon is just barely lit by the sun you can technically still see the rest of the moon very dimly. The reason you can see it is because of the light reflected off the Earth, a phenomena called Earthshine. I don’t quite have the right camera equipment to get this picture right, but I don’t think it was a bad attempt anyway!
Read MoreI tried to find a globular cluster, but I simply don’t have the right telescope mount for that kid of photography.

I’m an engineer in the commercial space industry. I love my backyard telescope, baking, drumming, and exploring.
Saturn's rings are nearly edge-on when viewed from Earth, pretty soon they'll look like they've disappeared!
