A clearing near the farmhouse where I did some observing in the evening.
|
The same clearing looking down towards the machine sheds.
|
a pass of the Mir Space Station with Jupiter in the frame. This was about a 5 second exposure about 45 minutes after sunset.

Closeup of the previous picture. It was actually quite dark when I took this.
|
These two pictures were taken on the first morning. I observed from this area because it was on a slight hill and
had a good view of the horizon in all directions. This picture is looking towards the north. There are a couple of farms
about 10kms away which you can see in the evening.
|
Looking towards the eastern horizon. There is a huge salt lake once the farm finishes. A couple of farm lights can be seen
way off in the distance at night.

Sunset over the wheat fields.
|
The new cresent moon can be seen just above and to the left of the clouds. This picture was taken at the observing spot near the farmhouse.
|
Same location later in the evening. The cresent moon setting between the water tank and the power lines running down the
driveway. The lights are from another road about 10-15 kms away. I set this shot up and then went inside for about an hour
because it was too windy to setup my telescope... I think the photo turned out very well.

Star trail showing Orion and Taurus. These pictures were taken during the maximum of the Orionid meteor shower so I was
hoping to catch some meteors on film.
|
I have labelled the previous photo with the major stars.
|
Orion and Taurus rising in the East.
