Just a few days ago, I imaged the last full moon of May, a micro-moon named the blue moon. Az a twist and for a fresh look at the lunar details in a different light, I inverted the image!

I loved the way it turned out!

It is rare for me to combine images to create a digitally altered piece. Examples include time sequences like phases of the moon or the progression of an eclipse. Sometimes I may blend a higher focal image with a lower one taken from the same spot during the same session to enhance the detail.

So, when the idea struck me to use a mathematical algorithm to flip and blend the polar opposite images, I was reluctant to share my new art at first. I sent to image to my daughter Lizzie Farr to get her opinion.

🥰🥰🥰 SUPER cool

was her response. So, I printed it at 12" x 18" and it looks even better on metal!

The next person I showed this image to stopped, stared, and gasped. Then she bought the first print on the spot.

Those reactions told me everything I ed to know, so I wasn't about to sleep tonight until I could share it with you.

“Lunar Convergence” captures a rare alignment of the Blue Micro‑Moon that is transformed into something sculptural, balanced, and quietly impossible. It is connected in a lattice of line lines that invert and share the dual reliefs in tension around the massive crater named Tycho.

I’ve released it as a strictly limited edition:

• 1 large 20" x 30"
• 3 medium 16" by 24"
• 5 smaller 12" x 18" crafted in my own studio (although as of this writing there's only 4 available)

Use the sizing guide on the collector's page to compare and choose.

That’s it. 9 total prints,

Each is signed, numbered, and printed on museum-grade ChromaLuxe metal. Use the link on the collector's page to learn more about the metal prints.

When the last one is gone, I will never produce it again.

Will you be one of the lucky nine?

"May Blues": A rare lunar moment, captured and reimagined.

This image features May’s Blue Micromoon, the second full moon of May that is smaller in apparent size compared to other full moons due to its distance from Earth, presented in an inverted tonal format that enhances surface detail and contrast. Crater rays, maria, and highlands emerge with striking clarity, offering a fresh perspective on familiar lunar geography.

There are some lines you shouldn't cross.

Daytime on the moon reaches a scorching 260 degrees Fahrenheit. When the terminator line passes, you'll get some relief, but only briefly. Once the surface is plunged into darkness, it rapidly cools to -414 degrees Fahrenheit.

Trust me. Your puffy and your sleeping bag just aren't rated for it!

In this photo series, I used my Celestron EdgeHD 9.25" at its native focal length of 2350mm in conjunction with a ZWO ASI662MC planetary camera to capture the chaos that the edge of dawn reveals on the lunar surface. During the current (almost half-moon) phase, the low angle of light on the surface casts long shadows creating dramatic details.

The original capture was just HD (1920 x 1080) at gains ranging from 40 - 250 and exposures from 20ms - 80ms. I averaged about 20 fps per capture and picked up several thousand frames per region that I stacked and sharpened to produce the series.

In the Northern Hemisphere, spring is heralded by the appearance of the Northern Cross just after sunset. At the heart of the Northern Cross lies Sadr (Gamma Cygni), a supergiant blazing roughly 1,500 light‑years away in the constellation Cygnus. With a surface temperature near 6,000 K and a luminosity thousands of times greater than our Sun, Sadr anchors one of the Milky Way’s most crowded stellar neighborhoods. Its light pierces a vast complex of glowing gas and dust that illuminate an intersection of star birth and decay that defines the Sadr Region, or IC 1318, often called the Butterfly Nebula for its sweeping wings of emission.

Surrounding Sadr is a tapestry of hydrogen‑alpha filaments, oxygen‑rich veils, and sulfur‑tinged clouds, each revealing a different layer of the interstellar medium.

- The hydrogen alpha frames the energetic shock fronts sculpted by stellar winds;

- Oxygen III traces the hotter, ionized zones where ultraviolet radiation carves cavities in the gas; and

- Sulfur II outlines the cooler, denser regions where new stars may one day ignite.

The interplay of these wavelengths transforms the field into a living map of stellar evolution where radiation, gravity, and time weave the delicate architecture of the Milky Way’s inner arm.

Four hours of total exposure with a blend of 3-minute broadband and 5-minute narrowband exposures.

As the night begins to unravel, the wispy strands of coal unwinding
The moon, exhausted from its travel, descends, its surface bllinding
Vessels with their lesser lights channel towards the ocean
Spreading ripples in their wake that betray their forward motion
A wall of fog is creeping in from its perch upon the sea
All is quiet, bathed in violet, as daylight is breaking free.

The shore at Yaquina Bay State Park is lined with thousands of purple carcasses. These cousins to the Portuguese man-of-war are colonies of organisms that construct a purple boat with a clear appendage that serves as a "sail". They are known as "by-the-wind" sailors. Unfortunately, their sails can turn deadly when a strong wind blows them onto the beach to die in droves. The scientific name for this community is "velella velella."
