Why be an Amateur Astronomer?
January 31st Update: Al took some photos of the Lunar Eclipse as it was setting. You can see the Moon darkening and become squished a bit as it sunk down to the horizon. Not all Al’s astrophotos are taken with Tele Vue telescopes: this series was done with a Nikon Coolpix S9900 P&S camera through a window!
Observing note: see last-weeks post about observing tomorrow’s lunar eclipse / supermoon / bluemoon. Due to this event happening at the very end of the month, there will be no full moon in February.
