Looking for the moon. Ahhhh, found the moon!

April 27, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

After a dissapointing night Saturday night trying to get a 21 hour moon, I went out again Sunday night to capture a 5% moon. This time I was in Marlborough, Connecticut, geared up again to do battle to try to find Luna. It was nice and clear until about a half an hour after sunset. Then a major cloud bank started moving in from the northwest. I immediately went into a "clear … [Read more...]

Looking for the moon, found the sun

April 25, 2009 by CtCameraEye 2 Comments

I was on a quest tonght to see if I could locate a 21 hour moon in the west just after sunset. Everything was ready, my camera with a 800mm lens, a set of bino's, and a great view of the horizon from a hill top in Hebron, Ct. The only thing working against me was a cloud bank that moved in just before sunset. I moved to a different location to get a better view of the possible … [Read more...]

At 30,000 feet, James Bond’s playground revealed

April 19, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

When I fly always try to get a window seat, because you never know what your going to see. Over the years from my always small aerial armchair, I have photographed many cloud formations, cities, other planes, astronomical/meteorlogical events, and now, James Bond's island playground. Coming back from Puerto Rico about a week ago, we were flying at 30,000 feet over a … [Read more...]

The Arecibo Observatory

April 14, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

Another stop that I made on my recent vacation was at the largest radiotelescope on earth, the Arecibo Observatory. I am not going to go into all the technical aspects of the observatory, but if you would like to know more about it go to www.naic.edu . Their website is full of all kinds of information and links to other sites, enough to satisfy the hard core … [Read more...]

Solar observing in Puerto Rico

April 12, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

Well everyone, I made it back from taking a week off. I managed to get some serious Solar observing on the island of Puerto Rico. I was located on the western shore, in a town called Ricon. Know for its world class surfing, it is also a beautiful area to relax. Never being in Puerto Rico before, one of my first things to do on my list was to do some solar observing.  This was … [Read more...]

More Orion Information

April 2, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

CtCameraEye followers ask...The "Eye" delivers! CtCameraEye followers went a little bit "out of this world" when I posted the pictures that I took of the new Orion Crew Vehicle mockup unvailed on the Mall in Washington, DC. I was got a lot of e-mails requesting more information about exactly "how big is it"?  So, here it is. The best way to actually show you is this in … [Read more...]

Spacecraft lands at the National Mall

April 1, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

After photographing the Cherry Blossoms around Washington DC Monday, I decided to take a walk to my favorite museum, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. As I was proceeding down the National Mall I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a spacecraft sitting on the edge of the mall a few hundred yards away. As I got closer I did indeed see a spacecraft. The brand new … [Read more...]
