After several months, my SECOND “#1 NEW RELEASE”, is finally available in print! I was almost in tears when I took the pic of my daughter reading it. Thanks to Traci for the support! “Hello Luna, It’s Me Again” is an imaginary conversation with the Moon and a collection of lunar images from my own telescope. If you’re interested, it’s available on Amazon. Much love, and Thank You! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09M577SW8/ . . . . #celestrontelescope #celestron127slt #astrophotography #moon #luna #books https://www.instagram.com/p/CWj4otLs41e/?utm_medium=tumblr

Jupiter from my driveway on 08/24/2021. The humidity was ridiculous. Light was bouncing all over the place and I couldn’t focus jack. . . . . . . #celestrontelescope #celestron127slt #backyardastronomy #jupiter #solarsystemambassador https://www.instagram.com/p/CS-6xVHMhkr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fun night outside! Took advantage of some tips I’ve read and watched, and captured some decent Moon images. Still have some focusing issues, but these turned out pretty good for what I was using. #celestron127slt #iphone11 #moon #astronomy #backyardastronomy https://www.instagram.com/p/CO9SFAMjd3A/?igshid=163w76p92jsl7

My third attempt at Mars. I didn’t use a filter on this one, but I’m going to try a red filter tonight. #celestrontelescope #celestron127slt #backyardastronomy #mars #planets https://www.instagram.com/p/CGUu8Xnj12b/?igshid=i4jdoaqhd4c7

Mars 09/06/2020 - Celestron 127slt mak - My first decent Mars image. I’ve got a long way to go. Like many dads before me have said, “practice, practice, practice”. #space #backyardastronomy #mars #celestrontelescope #celestron127slt https://www.instagram.com/p/CEzXHdvD4Gd/?igshid=vu3voayh5ooz

Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn... These are what I consider my best images. I’ve learned so much this past year, but I have a long way to go. I’m really looking forward to getting Mars later this Summer. #celestrontelescope #celestronuniverse #celestron127slt #backyardastronomy #space #venus #jupiter #saturn #planets https://www.instagram.com/p/CBhhlXVHakg/?igshid=1t6l5o4999j6q

Sorta clear skies last night. This is one of my favorite regions on the Moon. The area includes the Apennine Mountains. The tallest one, Mons Huygens, is 18,000 feet tall. For perspective, the Matterhorn in Switzerland is 14,692 feet tall. My shot is a single image, so it’s a little fuzzy. It was too windy tonight to work how I intended. #celestron127slt #moon #astronomy #backyardastronomy https://www.instagram.com/p/B-gp_GjHgCF/?igshid=r2fjudkd7etm

Fun night learning my way around the Moon. In 1965, Ranger 9 was intentionally crashed into the crater Alphonsus. Imaged with a Celestron 127slt mak and iPhone 8. #moon #space #nasa #celestron127slt #telescope #backyardastronomy #craters https://www.instagram.com/p/B2KIOK0HWhY/?igshid=jtolznfnslrd

Playing with blue filter on my Celestron 127slt mak. To windy for tracking, so this is a single image. #backyardastronomy #moon #celestron127slt #telescope #space #atlanta #apollo11 #iphone https://www.instagram.com/p/B2DiQnqnUiX/?igshid=w0r1bcpxky8q
