Operation PAN-STARRS

I was just rummaging around in the blog and found this unpublished post from last year. 


Mission Control, we have success!

We've been chasing the comet all month. Last night, we pulled into a parking area next to a local business spotted the comet, snapped a couple of pics and it disappeared into the growing haze at the horizon.

Jupiter also had  a close encounter with the moon last night.

It got closer to the moon around midnight, It became a trio: Jupiter, moon and Aldebaran. 

As excited as the kids were for the comet and the moon, the CSX train was far more interesting, loud, big and moving!

Super Moon

I got the chance to get out and shoot the Super moon. It looked like it was going to be a bust, but the skies cleared just in time and I was able to get some great images.

I think the clouds may have made a more interesting image though. Here's the moon breaking free and looking little like a Batman symbol.

The best image of all is the moon peeking through above the Hourigan's Dairy Farm in Elbridge.
