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.
Great capture of the moon and Venus.
ReplyDeleteWe had Northern Lights last week and although I wasn't able to capture them in photos, I was able to enjoy the show.
