Playing around with astrophotography. I was trying to capture the faint Milky Way in the second photo while fighting the glow from city lights, and got a firefly photobomb!

I intended to shoot the sunset this evening, but the cloud deck moving in had other plans. The moon in the east was a pretty good consolation prize.

April 8, 2024. Totality in Lebanon, Indiana lasted about 2.5 minutes. It was over so fast! From start to finish, the entire eclipse lasted around 2.5 hours. This is a composite of photos I took throughout the whole thing.

I decided to travel to totality for yesterday’s solar eclipse. It was the first time I’ve ever witnessed a total solar eclipse, and it was an amazing experience!

Did you catch the moon last night? It was absolutely stunning. The full moon in August is called the Sturgeon Moon.

I never tire of the moon’s beauty when I see it in the sky.

I always enjoy noticing our world’s largest satellite during the day. Waxing, first quarter moon.
