Dragon's Eye News

I took my scope out into the front yard to look at the Moon, Venus, Saturn and Mars as well as wait for an ISS passover.

Soon after dark I was able to get a good shot of the Moon and Venus together. Click through for larger versions.

A through the eyepiece shot of the Moon.

And finally, a shot of the ISS passing beyond the house. I got several shots but they all show a bit of movement at the beginning even though I thought I'd set a shutter delay.

Fun, fun, fun.

Another morning ralk with Chip, the perfect dog. There were some great crespucular rays in the East.

And the Moon in the West

We went off to Watters Creek again.

Chip and Susan relaxing in what should be the Allen version of Cafe del Mar.

I next captured a picture of duck butt.

Followed by the Tree That Will Soon Fall Over.

Once home we were treated to some pretty thunderheads

and the Moon and Venus (look at the large version)

Still catching up on the backlog. At this rate I'll run out again in a few days.

A pretty full Moon setting in the West as the Sun crawled out of the horizon in the East.

Got a few good shots using the camcorder. It does really well on the moon but not as good as the Canon SD750 for Jupiter. Still, fun to play with.
