Default One Minute This, The Next Minute That
Went out to turn the heat on in the garage this morning, captured the break of dawn, the next minute, all gone. I think it's going to be a crappy wx day today.

Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailors take warning.

An underrated band. Wrong place at the right time.

There is supposed to be a cool green comet going by, that you can see with a decent pair of binoculars (I have). It has been total cloud cover every night for a week now!

I was just a minute ago years old when I learned....

Can you see objects left behind on the moon?

Unfortunately the answer to this question is no. Not even the most powerful telescopes ever made are able to see these objects. The flag on the moon is 125cm (4 feet) long. You would require a telescope around 200 meters in diameter to see it. The largest telescope now is the Keck Telescope in Hawaii at 10 meters in diameter. Even the Hubble Space telescope is only 2.4 meters in diameter. Resolving the lunar rover, which is 3.1 meters in length, would require a telescope 75 meters in diameter.

Maybe we never landed there after all.

Yup, I've been waiting for it to clear up too. I have some binoculars but I prefer using this:

Another crappy picture. I'm not too good at astrophotography. One of the hardest things I've ever tried.

Jupiter highly doctored in my stacking program:
