Venus visits the Sun from my front yard.

Half way between Mars and Jupiter. On the street that happens to be at the speed bump

Notice the landmarks. The water in the distance seems to be getting closer as I use the zoom lens.

This is a 4.5 kilowatt ground-mount photovoltaic system installed at the Robert A. Koehn residence in Glenn, Ca. The system features a ProSolar GroundTrac racking system, an array of 20 Sharp ND-224U1F solar panels, and an SMA America "SunnyBoy" 5000-US inverter. We also installed a Sunny Beam bluetooth wireless device so that the system could be monitored from inside the house.

Venus visits the Sun from my front yard.

My first attempt at Astro photography before I go out and spend more money.

Mosaic of 30sec exposures I took to locate Neptune, using Venus as a starting point.

Good seeing once again. Video frames stacked and processed with RegiStax.

Meade ED 127 refractor telescope, Meade 5x Barlow lens and Philips SPC 900NC webcam. A video clip was taken and the best frames processed in Registax 5.0 software to produce the final bitmap.

Image taken with an 8" F/6 Newtonian and 2.5X barlow. About 1200 frames stacked and processed with AVIStack. Back in the days of film, I would have been delighted with the upper image.

The milky way taken over north yorkshire last night.

No jet stream tonight but very breezy. Celestron U2K, 2x barlow, prime focus, Logitech Quickcam and Registax. I left the dew shield off the telescope because of the wind. One of these nights I am going to end up with perfect conditions, I just know it.
