The Lunar Eclipse

This is the lunar eclipse taken by Nasa.  This is what I saw last night, but my pics are not as clear as this photo.  Taking space shots are difficult especially with all the ambient light around the town.  I was up for quite awhile snapping several hundred shots.  It was an absolutely beautiful sight last night.  Here is what I got.....close but not quite as clear.....

My attempts at the night sky....
I love space!

The Harvest Moon




The beginning of fall.....and a harvest moon.  Tonight look out your window and you'll see some stunning views of our moon.  I am a huge Star Trek fan and wish that I could one day travel the stars.  The universe is a wondrous place.

Taking pics at night with this camera is tricky....you have to monkey around with a lot of buttons....but it's good enough for now:)  Fall has now arrived!
