You get a lot of red-tinted moon pictures. I think it looks stunning! How do you do it?

I actually don’t get this type of picture often. The one you see in my post was a total lunar eclipse.

Other times it is a result of smoke from wildfires, which did happen once or twice.

Here is a clear moon picture I took last Christmas.

This next one was interesting.

That’s the sun with a solar filter on December 28th, 2023. Don’t try that without a solar filter.

See the bright star near the center? That’s not a star, that is Uranus. I’ve actually seen and photographed all the planets except the one we are on. I’ll try to find my completed picture and post it.

I found it. I took all these photos and put them together.

I actually need to get a better photo of Mars and Mercury eventually.

That is awesome! I would like to do something like this one day....

Here is my second attempt and first successful meteor shower image. These were captured between 4:10 and 5:20 this morning. I could definitely spend more time perfecting the masks on the meteors, but this was more of a practice run. I will put in a little more effort next time....

I took this picture of a frost covered tree in my front yard. It’s amazing.

Speaking of an eclipse…

I captured this completely by accident. That’s a solar eclipse on Jupiter. The moon Io went in front of Jupiter, and left a shadow.
