Moon
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.

Perseus
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.

2018 in Review
Here it is. January, 2019. 2018 is all a blur now. I wanted to have this ready by the first but a bout with a cold kept my peanut brain occupied.
Here are some pictures I took throughout the year. I am only posting one photo per month. Its kind of hard when I have a little less that 9000 pictures from 2018. And that’s not counting some from the cell phone.

The Other Totality
January 2018. This year it is a rare occurrence, that we have a Super Moon, Blue Moon and Blood Moon all in the same month. This hasn’t happened in about 152 years, so I had to at least try and capture it. Last August we made the trip to Nebraska to make pictures of the Solar Eclipse. It seemed right to shoot the “Other Totality” as well.
The first Full, Super Moon was January 1st. Technically it was January 2nd at 8:24 CST in the morning. I captured this from our back yard the evening of January 1st.
The second Full Moon, Blue Moon, happened on January 31st, 7:27 CST. It was low on the horizon so I went to a park that is on a little hill and captured this.
Then the fun started. It was a windy and chilly 42 degrees. My hands and feet got really cold. Good thing I sat in my truck most of the time, except to get out and make a few shots.
The Sun started coming up and the horizon was getting dimmer. I could barely see the moon, so I know my camera was having a real hard time too.
It was a fun learning experience. Darkness, and a Bright light for a while, then the haze and atmosphere was filtering what little light the moon was reflecting.
