We had clouds during the first contact of the eclipse. It made for some anxious times. The clouds were moving pretty fast. It did create an interesting shot.

In Texas, we get to see two solar eclipse’s within 6 months between October 2023 and April 2024. I am getting ready!
My next few posts will be of the sun.

They will mostly all be taken with my Tamron 150-600 with a 1.4 teleconverter.

While attempting to capture some pictures of the Perseid Meteor Shower, I grabbed my new Tamron 150-600 with the TC-1.4 teleconverter, I took a few shots of the moon.

I decided after all these years to go out and try to capture some meteors during the Perseus Meteor Shower. This year I left my house at 4:00am and drove to the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge. It’s the darkest place near my house.
I saw a lot more than I captured



I would do it again.

What were you doing today at 3:00 this morning?

Lunar eclipse 2021.11.19
Plano,TX
Here’s my attempt to capture the Neowise Comet. There is too much light pollution around here.


Then I turned and captured Jupiter. I didn’t know until I got home, I could see some of the moons!

Yesterday morning was a nice and crisp so I stepped out on the driveway. The birds were chirping and flying around. As I looked up towards the heavens, I noticed the crisscrossing contrails of the high flying jets along with the Cirrocumulus clouds.

This was at about 7:15 am. These folks must have gotten up real early!
