Cellphone on the hood of the truck shooting through clouds. Not how I imagined my first time shooting #Aurora but what can ya do 🤷🏼‍♂️Also didn’t think my first time shooting aurora would be in Texas…

Super steady conditions tonight 🌒🔭

Such steady conditions last night. It was nice to be back behind the scope in the cool evening surrounded by my friends, the spring mosquitoes. 🦟 Shown here are the triplet system of Theophilus, Cyrillus, and Catharina along with surrounding areas going towards the terminator.

First Quarter #moon from last night. Seeing conditions were incredible and the Celestron C6R performed exceptionally well for high resolution imaging.

Montes Caucasus,Aristotles & Eudoxus Craters. I have always enjoyed this region. The craters are pronounced from the ragged terrain, the mountains leading up to them separate the day/night sky, all of which is nestled between the smoother Mare Frigoris and Mare Serenitatis.

Watch a timelapse of the current solar activity, filmed from my backyard observatory this morning. The sun is still insanely active, this is all unrelated to the show last week.

Actual representation of how hot it is in Texas today 🥵

First day of kindergarten and #graduation day of high school yesterday. Where did the time go? 🥺

Cloudy weather means I can finally work in my daughter’s #graduation pics 😭❤️

First #Saturn of 2024 and also my first moon transit ever. The dark smudge is Titan. Why a smudge? Cause Saturn is still really far away and lower in the sky which makes clarity more difficult. But look at those rings getting thin 👀

Thank you Sky & Telescope for including this in your new article about the current planetary views in the morning sky. 🪐🔭❤️

Always love the pair and framing of Aristotles and Eudoxus no matter which side they are illuminated from. From the morning of June 6.

Been up since 3:00 and taken 2 captures. What a bust for the first telescope time in months 🙁. Weather apps all predicted clear skies.

Mars Reappears from Behind the Moon Watching the screen to see that tiny ball poking back out from behind the Moon was a sight to see for sure. #mars #moon

Planet parade last night under pretty horrible conditions, but it was a spectacular sunset. Saturn, Venus, Jupiter and Mars all with their respective apparent diameters through the telescope.

Saturn at Opposition over the weekend.
