This blog is an online journal of my astrological observations from day one. Images and data will be included. I will also share any astronomy information I may come across during my interactions with other Astronomers.
The close-up pictures were taken with a 8 inch telescope (NexStar 8SE) using NexImage 5 webcam. I used yellow and and green filter for 2 pictures. The Blood Moon, Blue Moon and the Moon showing clouds were taken with a Canon Powershot SX 20 IS camera. Used the auto settings.
