I took the pictures below on September 14. At that time, we had a young crescent moon showing with a very bright Venus on the right in the western sky. Lucky for me, according to space.com, Venus was almost at its brightest for the remainder of 2026 the evening I captured these shots.
On October 8, the Draconids were peaking after sunset. I set the camera to capture star trails and left it sitting pointing in one direction while I watched the sky in another.
Unfortunately, I didn't see any meteors and neither did the camera.
No matter. I think star trails are cool even when they don't show up well.
There is nothing like a little evening star watching to make you realize how little all the problems of the world really are.
