The peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower occurred last night. I saw 22 shooting stars, and with the ones that I missed, we probably had over 30 come through in 4 hours. I managed to photographed 9 of them.

The Milky Way | 35mm

Here's a re-processed image of what I took back in August of 2023. The original was stacked with DSS, but I did it again with Siril and a good background extraction.

The planets Jupiter and Venus in conjunction with each other last night. I tried to find something cool to frame them with, but I ended up just using a tree in my front yard. It was my Mom's birthday, so it felt pretty special to walk out the door and point her attention to this display.

I found a good opportunity to get the Moon lined up with the top of a church; this is the cross on top of Family Worship Center.

I was a bit rushed for this shot, as I literally tried this last minute. I do plan on trying this again, I need to be further from the church so that the I can zoom up more and make the Moon much larger on top of the cross.

First Quarter Moon | March 25, 2026

I realized that I don't really image the Moon like I used to back then, so here is the half moon in the evening sky. Taken with HRPO's telescope, I had lots of fun imaging this, and I will post a video of it as well.

The planet Jupiter with its moon Io | March 6, 2026

I captured this with HRPO's large 20 inch reflecting telescope. Photographed with my ZWO ASI585, my footage came out quite nice, but got fuzzy when a 3x Barlow was added.

Probably the first time I ever caught any blueish colors on clouds, but I did notice through the live view some dark spt on the bottom cloud band. I thought it was a shadow transit, but there were no moons nearby, and Io's shadow had not passed for another 4 hours after that. I had a look on Stellarium, the Great Red Spot was on the opposite side, and this current dark spot was not showing up on the program, not sure if its something new or not.

Such a firery sunset captured on Tuesday evening!

The clouds were reflecting so much light from the Sun, that even being 6° above the horizon, it was still too bright to see anything. Thankfully, it worked in my favor, since I was shooting at F/16 - 1/8000 - ISO 50

Capturing this just only encourages me more to photograph more sunsets. Everyone of them is always so different, so unique, and never the same look.
