To The Utah Monolith Artist: Whether you consider yourself artist or artisan, huckster or provocateur, in 2020 you have accomplished something singular. Out of the ordinary you’ve created wonder, shown us beauty, and inspired. You […]
On the winter solstice, I went out to capture the Saturn-Jupiter 2020 Great Conjunction over Denver, over St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church. Quite a few people out wandering around the Denver Sculpture Park near the […]
The last image I captured prior to sunrise is ‘Utah Monolith and Zodiacal Light’. The wedge of light created by sunlight being reflected back from interplanetary dust within our solar system is Zodiacal Light, and […]
Utah Monolith and Star Trails at night And as quickly as the Utah Monolith had appeared within our collective conscious, it was gone. Reports are that sometime on Friday night 11/27/20 the object was […]
Some things in the world just deserve a drop-everything, no-holds-barred trip, and the opportunity to see the Utah Monolith at night was certainly no exception. Even on Thanksgiving. I made the whirlwind trip from Colorado […]
Magnitude +2.4 Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) continues to provide amazing opportunities for photographers, and the dynamic terrain around Crested Butte, Colorado allowed me to capture one image I was not sure I would (could?) get: […]
Comet NEOWISE from Lizard Head Pass, CO So Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE does not disappoint! After about four hours of scouting locations (heavily relying upon The Photographer’s Ephemeris), I finally found a spot that would […]
Since I rarely shoot the northern sky, to date I haven’t had an incursion by the nearly-600 Starlink satellites that have been launched by SpaceX to date. Comet NEOWISE provided an ‘opportunity’ (cough!) to capture […]
On the run with marginal internet, but here’s a few from yesterday. Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE’s tail is getting really impressive, and is now nearly 10° long and clearly displays two tails (the main dust […]
Odd weather conditions did not cooperate for this morning’s attempt to get Comet Neowise rising over the Denver skyline. After a super-hot day, overnight a thunderstorm complex developed over the eastern plains, and apparently left […]
Our third potentially-spectacular Comet of the summer, C/2020 F3 NEOWISE, is actually performing beyond expectations (currently estimated at magnitude +1.3), especially after Comets Swan and Atlas fizzled and/or broke apart as they rounded the sun. […]
The Shot: ‘Milky Way over Corkscrew Gulch, Colorado’. I love the San Juans, and Day 4 of this trip gave me a whole new appreciation of the Red Mountain Pass area. We’ve all been awed […]
