Cassiopeia doesn't seem quite real, coming up for one of the firsts, and twinkling so furiously that the whole cannot be held in view. #lookup #lookin #reachforthesky #latenight #rhodopsinblind #sky https://www.instagram.com/p/B12veXEJhyG/?igshid=rdf6ak373ag2
If an astronomy camera had a bucket list, it might include: "[...]dissect the light coming from a B(e) star" Giving my camera some bragging rights tonight :) #bestars #spectra #stars #stellarspectra #spectrography #butterflycluster #m6 #emission #staranalyzer #zhumell #z12 #zwo #asi178mm #sharpcap #driftscanning #spacelovers #diyscience #backyardscience #backyardastronomy #lightdissection #diffraction https://www.instagram.com/p/Byrgy49JeUq/?igshid=82w5mx7btnyp
Jupiter's looking in pretty fine form tonight! In fact, the seeing is so good that I can resolve Ganymede (not shown) into a disk visually. Telescope: Orion XT8 + Ethos 4.7mm Camera: Pixel 2 HDR+ Enhanced Processing: 100% contrast and structure :P And a whole lotta luck to get a picture like this with a cellphone!

Have you seen Jupiter yet this season? Tonight, the moon is just past full, and sits just to the upper right of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. If you've never seen Jupiter before, now's a good time to look! Jupiter is the brightest "star" in the midnight sky right now, so even after the moon moves on in a couple of days, Jupiter will stay easy to find. It's worth stepping outside to see this celestial pairing even if it's cloudy-- if you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the moon through a thin spot in the clouds, and be treated to a colorful halo. It's always worth looking up. :) #astronomy #lookup #lookingup #skygazing #skylovers #alwayslookingup #jupiter #moon #cloudphotography #nightphotography #cloudsatnight #aureole #conjunction #space #tonight #pixel2 #nightsight https://www.instagram.com/p/BxrHKFEl04B/?igshid=1dbgj5u0bdyr6
Tips for photographing the moon with your smartphone: • Try during daylight, when there's less contrast between the Moon and the background! • Set the exposure as low (dark) as possible. On Android phones, you set the exposure by tapping on a bright object, then dragging up and down on the dotted bar that appears, and tapping the lock icon to hold the settings. • If you want to attempt a photo of the Moon during nighttime, set your camera's focus and exposure on a distant, brightly lit object, then pan over to the moon. • Use HDR or night mode, if you phone has it. • Zoom in as much as you can: even if your phone doesn't have optical zoom, it might help you to get a lower exposure if more of the screen is filled with brightness. • Moon photos will always be better with optical aid! A pair of binoculars, a telescope, or even a pocket magnifier held in front of your camera will help! Equipment used for each photo: Photo 1: Pixel 2 (Night Sight mode) Photo 2: Nexus 5X pointed through 15x70 binoculars Photo 3: Pixel 2 pointed through 15x70 binoculars (cropped) Photo 4: Pixel 2 pointed through a backyard telescope (92x) Photo 5: Nexus 5X pointed through a backyard telescope (~250x) Clear Skies- or interesting clouds! #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography #cellphoneastrophotography #smartphoneastrophotography #orionxt8 #oriontelescopes #astronomy #astronomylovers #diyastronomy #space #spacelovers #lunarphotography #luna #mewn https://www.instagram.com/p/BxlemcDFDow/?igshid=1e0qfzty5a7am
Fun astronomy moment number #56,739,317: that moment when you pick a random star, start collecting its light in a bucket, shredding the light with physics, and studying the patterns-- then discover for yourself that it's actually two stars (each with different patterns of light once shredded)! Oh yeah! Doing some spectrography tonight :) The star system in the first photo is Epsilon Boo, the star in the second is Zeta UMi! #astronomy #space #spacelovers #science #scicomm #spectrography #learnscience #greyscalerainbow #stars #spectra #universe #diyscience #backyardastronomy #astronomer #zhumell #z12 #12dob #untracked #zwo #asi178mm #asicap #mooncantstopme #stellarspectra #wearemadeofstarstuff #amateurastronomy https://www.instagram.com/p/BxjgH1FFBQ-/?igshid=1xmr594szr9w8
Last Monday night at TSP featured an impressive lightning show from a cell to the north. I made the trek up the hill to the road west of the Upper Field and set up my camera to record a timelapse of it. The timelapse overall may not be that impressive, but I did get one really good frame... stay tuned! (The second photo is a cellphone pic of a storm in the area from earlier, not one of the frames from my DSLR.)

The thin crescent moon visible behind some ocotillo at @davismountainssp on Tuesday. The moon has been moving closer to the Sun, becoming an ever-thinner crescent, until at the time of this posting, it's just reaching the moment of new. This new moon marks the beginning of lunation 1192 (the number of new moons since January 1923). In a few days, the moon will be visible in the evening sky, presenting the naked-eye treat of a thin crescent and earthshine. The Davis Mountains are beautiful in both land and sky. If you're driving through the area, the Davis Mountains State Park is a neat place to stop (bring plenty of water). Drive up Skyline drive and enjoy the view! (Bonus points: if you do it tonight, you'll dazzle some astronomers a couple miles away on your way down.) The park entrance is located only a few minutes out of Fort Davis on Highway 118, the same road that takes you to McDonald Observatory-- a must-visit location! Hw118 will take you to one of the VLBA radio telescope dishes too (take a right on Sproul), if that's your thing. And if you can't go visit the Davis Mountains yourself, you can always go check out the @davismountainssp account for scenes from the high desert. I'm a fan of the Fort Davis area! I wouldn't want to be there in the summer (hello, 100°+ temps) but it's nice this time of year, with plenty of bottled water and an AC to retreat to. :) Clear Skies! #davismountains #davismountainsstatepark #fortdavis #texas #ocotillo #moon #daytimemoon #moongazing #blueskies #crescentmoon #chihuahuandesert #desertphotography #pixel2 #nightsight #helpspulloutdaytimemoons #thorns #highway118 https://www.instagram.com/p/BxDtkPuloIf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11ojt2n85z27y
Could there be a more quintessentially Texan sight? (Answer: Yes- there could be a horse hitched to the sign.)

Captured some spectra of a bright Wolf-Rayet star tonight! It was only upon taking this picture that I realized how ridiculous my astrophotography rig can look... but hey, it works!! There is enough information in this photo to identify the exact Wolf-Rayet star I was photographing--- any guesses? Don't worry, there's only less than 200 to pick from (that we know of here in the Milky Way)!
