The Eye of God

September 25, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

One of the things that I wanted to accomplish at the recent Connecticut Star Party was to image an object that I have never seen before. Thanks to ASNH President Greg Barker I managed to locate and photograph "The Eye of God" otherwise known as The Helix Nebula. Most people have seen a close up of this planetary nebula in Aquarius, equating it to it's smaller cousin in the … [Read more...]

Photos of the UFO witnessed at the Connecticut Star Party

September 22, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

One of my friend in the media industry saw my blog about the UFO sighting that had everyone up and down  the east coast in a frenzy for a few hours. This was until NASA reported that it had launched a rocket from the Wallops Flight Facility in Virgina. The bright cone of light that was witnessed by hundreds of people was made to produce an artificial cloud. He was out … [Read more...]

Google Doodle out of this world

September 22, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

It is not enough seeing a true UFO (at least thought so for a few hours) Saturday night at the Connecticut Star Party, then I see this. This google Doodle was up yesterday in honor H.G. Wells birthday. If you are wondering it is a scene from his book "War of the Worlds". A true out of this world doodle! Happy UFO hunting! … [Read more...]

Colorful Connecticut Capitol

September 21, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

It was unfortunate I had to return to work this week, but my spirits picked up a little when I saw this great image of the State Capitol dome surrounded in fog during sunrise this morning at 6:35am. I guess I could say I did a little solar astronomy as I watched the sun creep into the sky. … [Read more...]

UFO sighted at Connecticut Star party

September 20, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

Scores of attendees at the Connecticut Star party in Ashford, Connecticut were treated to a real UFO sighting at approximately 7:55pm Saturday night. While darkeness was setting in a bright, very bright cone of light was expanding in the southwest. It grew brighter and larger to the size larger than the full moon for about 25 seconds. There was an uproar of about 100 people as … [Read more...]

Connecticut Star Party is here!

September 19, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

Let's Party! With over 100 people in attendence CSP 19 opened its field up and scope of every kind hit the grass! In contrast to last years rain storm Friday night this years opening night was great. After a little scare of clouds rolling in between 8-9:30 the skies cleared and wonderful cool and dry night was had by all. Here are some quick pictures of the afternoon and … [Read more...]

Summer sun

September 5, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

It's been awhile since we had the nice burst of solar activity in the beginning of the summer. I figured I owed it to Sol that I give it one more look before summer ends. For weeks the disk has been void of anything, and today was no exception. I did manage to get an image of the whole disk showing a few promeninces around its rim this afternoon. Have a safe and clear … [Read more...]

Connecticut Corn Moon

September 3, 2009 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

Last night was a great night to go out and look at the yearly "Corn Moon". Well, almost a Corn Moon. It was 97.5% full, but close enough for me. Here's a photograph that I took last night of it. This full Moon corresponds with the time of harvesting corn. It is also called the Barley Moon, because it is the time to harvest and thresh the ripened barley. The Harvest Moon … [Read more...]
