I like to get the telescope out to look at the moon too.
It must have been exhilarating for the astronauts to walk on its surface.
We’ve lived through some fascinating times regarding space .... man walking on the moon, seeing all the planets with the different probes that have been sent out, etc. I’m still gaga over the pix of Pluto. What an interesting place that turned out to be.
Sorry to hear that mylife. Dogs are family.
I’ll be losing my best friend too soon also.
Howdy,LUV.
Have a good day?
The Strawberry Moon is living up to its name tonight. It rose over TN a nice reddish color, which you can see in post 38.
it’s not quite over the trees in the neighbors back yard, but I look forward to seeing it. The last few months, it’s been cloudy on this, my favorite view of the moon!
I had a great day! I was off and just did what I felt like doing. LOL!
Hope you, hubby and kittehs had a good day, too!
There were a lot of puffy clouds here today and I was worried the view might be blocked this evening. But the sky’s clear as a bell, or at least it was when I went out to snap pix.
We miss out on a lot of cool events due to clouds and it’s frustrating.
A day off to do what you feel like doing sounds like a pretty good day! LOL
A quiet day here. Was going to do a little grocery shopping but it was hot and I decided to wait until tonight when it’s cool.
What a gorgeous shot of that Strawberry moon!! Color me impressed...by it and by you! :)
When I bought the camera I used, I knew it had a good zoom on it but had no idea I’d be able to get such good pix of the moon. I bought it to get some decent shots of critters around the farm, especially does and their fawns. We had a doe with twins last year that I couldn’t get good shots of and this year, haven’t seen the first deer. Figures! LOL
It sure takes good ones. I have an awesome new telescope that I need to take out and go see the moon close up. It’s very heavy so I need help with it. Plus lots of mosquito repellent. LOL!
scritch his ear
amazing moon, first since 1946?
I am a sky watcher
I always thought it would cost a ton o’ cash to get a camera that would take pix like this one does. I bought a $300 Nikon that was on sale for $200 and have been thrilled with it.
Does your telescope have a computerized base that makes it so heavy? Hubby bought one for me several years ago that I’ve used only 3 or 4 times. It weighs 100 lbs. and there’s no way I can move it. Dad sent one he hadn’t used for years and it’s much lighter. No computer. That’s the one I use when I want to enjoy the heavenly bodies, though it isn’t as good as the heavy one. Better than nothing though.
WOOHOO my!! Slipped right in and got that #50!
New spy satellite in low geosynchonous orbit
FYI
Off to pillows
First full moon falling on the solstice since 1948 they say.
And it sure was a beauty as it rose!
Sky watching is relaxing and can be fascinating. I lived in cities for years and couldn’t see much then. But being in the country now, it’s a pleasure to get outside and see many neat things ........... provided there aren’t any clouds. LOL
Dat was you LOL
Yeah, I saw something about that earlier today. Like there aren’t enough up there already!
Good night and sleep well, my. Again, I’m sorry for your loss.
I was off a couple years LOL
Nope, dat was you who snagged it.
Some of us weren’t payin’ attention!
Yeah but you were close enough. You were paying attention. :-)
