The last full moon of the decade! I had a beautifully cold and clear night to grab a photo.

The space station went directly overhead this morning! It was cold and I’m tired, but I’m very happy with the picture!

Tonight I got one last image of Saturn before it goes away for the rest of the year. Saturn is always a beautiful sight, and it’s sad to see it go. Farewell Saturn! We’ll see you in 2020!

It was a beautiful night to share the telescope with some friends and their kids. Seeing through a telescope is a rare event for most people, so it’s always a fun experience to share. We saw the Moon, Juipter, Saturn, and amazingly even a weather balloon!

Geostationary satellites hanging overhead, 22,000 miles in the sky. The stars are colorful, and we even catch a glimpse of the wild duck cluster.

It's starting to feel a bit like fall with cooler nights. A beautiful moon, fewer bugs, and a pleasant temperature. You can't ask for more.

A gorgeous evening to see Saturn, Jupiter, and take my first chance at the milky way. New Jersey light pollution is no fun!

I tried to see the astronaut craters near the Apollo 11 landing site with my new cheap webcam, but imperfect weather conditions foiled my attempts.

I tried photographing the space station with my cell phone! I’ve tried using a cell phone before, but not since having a nice smartphone. I still need some work dialing in the exposure settings, but the results are VERY promising!

I try again to get a picture of the space station through my webcam. Conditions weren't perfect but I got the camera settings much closer to what I was looking for.

I've captured the space station from my phone and mirrorless camera before, but I'm starting to try with my new modified webcam. If the successes with Jupiter are any indication I may eventually get my best image yet!

Using my new webcam I took another video of Jupiter rotating. I’m very happy with the clarity of this video compared to my previous attempts!

A quick walkthrough of how I modified an $18 webcam to take pictures through my telescope.

I modified a webcam to connect to my telescope and so far the results have been incredible! I’ve never captured Jupiter in so much detail!

On a beautiful weekend night I spent two and a half hours taking pictures of Jupiter to see a time lapse of it rotating!

To honor the 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing I photographed the landing site. This time I FINALLY caught a glimpse of Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins craters!

Good camera exposure settings and gorgeous weather rewarded me with my best image of Jupiter ever.

A beautiful night to capture Jupiter! It's amazing what you can do with a ten year old telescope and a smartphone!

Nothing says the start of summer like enjoying the fireflies!
