Here's a shot I took using a PST (Personal Solar Telescope) that is designed to show the Ha portion of the spectrum of light!

























Here is what the GEOS-16 NASA satellite captured:


















My camera's orientation is different and the telescope is certainly less expensive

Moonlight on the Huachuca Mountains!

 













Moonlight on the Huachuca Mountains from our front porch tonight... and it is not even a full Moon yet! Taken about 9:45pm Friday night! (Be sure to click on the photo for a better, larger view)

On the the Moon... with style !

 A brief video I produced of the Moon a few days ago... with music!

A suggestion: add music to your astroimages and people will likely enjoy it even more!



The Copernicus Region of the Moon
