Hidden Behind The Moon 🌟 🌕

Last month, the rare “Blue” Full Moon drifted in front of the Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex, a vast region filled with colorful gas, dust, and newborn stars! 🌌

The Moon’s brightness made the deep-sky object impossible to see, so this collaboration combines my image of the Full Moon with Jason Rice Astro’s image of Rho Ophiuchi to show what was really happening in that moment! 🤝

Hidden In Daylight! 🌙 🛰️

For this image I had to drive to a designated location to be in the exact spot that the International Space Station (ISS) would pass directly infront of the day moon! 🌙

This is an image that I never thought I would get and is probably the best I have ever taken so far! 📸

This image was taken with my C11 telescope and Uranus C Camera! 🔭

I hope you enjoy! 👍

Trip of a Lifetime!🩸🌕

This was my journey across the United States, all to image the 2026 Lunar Eclipse! ✈️

This image was taken with my 6se telescope and a Player One Uranus-M camera! 📸

I hope you enjoy the results I was able to get from this celestial event! Stay tuned for more! 🔭

The Wait Is Over 🪐

This morning I woke up at 5 AM to capture Saturn for the first time this season 🔭📷

I’ve been waiting months for this moment, and seeing Saturn rise above the horizon never gets old. After setting up my G11 Mount, C11 and Player One Uranus-C camera, I was finally able to get my first and best image of the ringed planet this year ✨

Even though Saturn looks like a bright star to the naked eye, it’s actually a giant world nearly 9 times larger than Earth and located around 900 million miles away 🤯

Those rings you see are made mostly of ice and rock, stretching hundreds of thousands of miles across the planet 🪐

It’s still crazy to think that light reflected off Saturn traveled across the Solar System before ending up on my camera sensor this morning 📸

I hope you enjoyed this season is going to be so good! 🪐 👍

Daytime ISS Moon Transit 🛰️ 🌕

In this video, I packed my largest telescope (Celestron C11) and drove 30 minutes to be in the exact spot that the International Space Station would be as it crossed in front of the daytime crescent moon!

I hope you enjoyed the video! 👍

The Blue Moon 🌕🔵

Despite the name, a Blue Moon usually isn’t actually blue 👀

Most people have heard the phrase "once in a blue moon," but many don't know where it comes from. A Blue Moon is commonly defined as the second full Moon occurring within a single calendar month 🌕📅. Since full moons happen about every 29.5 days, this only occurs every few years, which is why the event is considered relatively rare.

There is also an older astronomical definition that refers to the third full Moon in a season containing four full moons 🌎✨. Both definitions are used today, but the calendar-month version is the one most people are familiar with.

The Moon itself doesn't actually change color during a Blue Moon 🌕. In very rare cases, smoke, dust, or volcanic ash in Earth's atmosphere can make the Moon appear bluish, but that's unrelated to the Blue Moon name.

No matter what it's called, it's always amazing to look up and realize you're seeing the same Moon that has orbited Earth for billions of years 🌌🔭

I hope you enjoyed 👍
