The weather around here has been a bit difficult for astronomy, and it has been no different with the approach of Comet Ison. Comet Ison is in the morning sky, and I managed to get a clear easter...

I finally got a clear night and a chance to image again. Since it is early summer, the constellations Scorpius and Ophiuchus are as high as they get in the southern sky, so I thought I would imag...

Hello folks. I am sorry for the lack in posting, but weather and other factors have kept my cameras from imaging the night sky lately. That came to an end last Saturday night, with a fairly good ...

Well, the one thing that makes astrophotography difficult around here is the weather. That is why alot of astrophotographers live in the desert southwest, or have remote observatories out there. ...

Comet Lulin made an anticipated appearance in the night sky this past week, and we had a few clear nights to check it out. I took an opportunity to head up on the Blue Ridge Parkway on Tuesday ev...

It has not been a good month for astrophotography. The thing about the winter months is that when you get clear skies, it is usually after a cold front moves through. That almost always introduce...

In case no one noticed, it has been rather cloudy lately, so the astrophotography opportunities have been very slim. I fully intend on taking advantage of any opportunities as they come available...

Ahhhhh. Finally the clouds had cleared, the moon was close to new, and the sky was rather stable. It turned out to be a good night for astrophotography last night. I started shooting around 6PM a...

The skies were to be clear Saturday Night, so I took the AMOV onto the mountain for some astrophotography. Once I arrived, the skies were, indeed, clear, but the wind was fierce, gusting to well ...
