I spent this morning compiling 10 minutes worth of image captures of Comet ISON on 11/16/13 into a time-lapse video that reveals some interesting things in the tail of the comet. 135 images spanning from […]
This morning’s forecast was again for several levels of high clouds, but at 4:33 AM my brain went off and I had to get up and look outside. One narrow roller of cirrocumulus was making […]
So in the last 24 hours, Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) has brightened considerably, becoming nearly naked-eye visible at a magnitude <6.0 (meaning in a dark-sky environment, one could see the coma unaided). I awoke at […]
Every star we see in the night sky is lies within our own Milky Way Galaxy. Only a very few other local group galaxies are visible with the naked eye on a very dark night, […]
This morning’s dawn gave rise to a crescent moon that floated in and out of cloud banks, giving me an opportunity to continue to refine a process I’ve envisioned that enables the passage of time […]

Today I spent some time compositing the images from Tuesday night’s time-lapse into one single image. A total of 159 30-second images (from 10:02 to 11:29 PM) were used in the image below, and effectively […]
At 2008 hrs. last night I received CalSky.com’s aurora email alert, which seems to aways come at 3 in the morning. Until now, that is. Since the weather was pretty much severe clear, I thought […]
As I was setting up my camera gear to try and capture the aurora last night on top of 11,990′ Loveland Pass, I heard voices off in the distance. Voices? I thought I was alone […]
I don’t post many sunset pics, but since the rain broke I have been enjoying the late-summer portion of the 20 or so days a year when–from our vantage point– the sun rises between North […]
I finally got out to shoot some astrophotography last night, and brought Reade, Tate and Conner with me to observe the Perseid Meteor showers near Leadville. We saw some great streaks of light, including one […]
