Comet Garradd from Connecticut

October 26, 2011 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

I had a short window of time last night to get out there and try to get a shot of Comet C/2009P1 Garradd. I set up in my dark sky location which has a great view to the west and south, so I had no problem in finding it in Hercules at a magnitude of about 7.2. It's the green fuzzy in the picture. Not really much to look at, but still another comet in my album! It … [Read more...]

ISS Fly Over October 17, 2011

October 18, 2011 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

It was one of those beautiful autumn evenings, perfect for imaging the International Space Station which was doing a close fly over of Connecticut. The closest it got was 411km. Just after 7:18pm it made it's appearence coming out of the south west gaining altitude quickly. Using my experience from previous tries to capture the ISS, I tried to put into action what I had … [Read more...]

October’s Hunter Moon Fly-by

October 12, 2011 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

It's that time of the year again. Time to put in some hours trying to get aircraft flying past the face of the moon. After doing some research on this task, it is widely known that between October and March are known to be the best months. Not best for the weather, but for the placement of the moon. In the past year I have posted, Lunar Transit Captured, and, the Beaver … [Read more...]

“Occupy Hartford ” missing the best part of the day

October 11, 2011 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

"Occupy Hartford" with their rag tag tent city, I mean tent community....  I really mean squatters, have missed the best part of the day in Hartford for the past several mornings. Making their temporary shelters inside " Turning Point Park" at the corner of Broad Street and Farmington Avenue, which has a great view of the capitol, I took this picture of "Occupy Hartford" … [Read more...]

Comstock Bridge renovation update

October 9, 2011 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

I took a ride to see how the Comstock Bridge renovation was coming along. It's been about a year and a half since it started.  Well, it looks like another leaf peeping season is going to pass without the bridge spanning the Salmon River. When I was there when, car after car, after car, came into the small parking lot (the larger lot is filled with construction equipment) … [Read more...]

Sprague Library Public Astronomy Outreach Event

October 9, 2011 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

This was the 6th year participating in the Sprague Library Astronomy outreach event for the Astronomical Society of New Haven. Having dryer conditions on the field than most years, the weather cooperated for once offering nice views of the moon, and many brighter astro objects for about 70 people at Sayles School. Kids of all ages marveled at looking at the almost full "Hunter … [Read more...]

CtCameraeye Travel Eye: The light of Alaska, Land, Sea, and Air

October 4, 2011 by CtCameraEye 1 Comment

Several weeks ago I returned from a vacation of a lifetime. A land and cruise tour around Alaska. Starting in Fairbanks, spending several days in Denali National Park, and then ending the trip with a 7 day cruise. Visiting glaciers, and the towns of Skagway, Juneau, Ketchican, and making it into the gold country of Canada's Yukon Territory gave me a chance to capture "The … [Read more...]

You have found the new CtCameraEye website. Updated from my old blog site that I had for over six years. A lot has changed over that time, and the new site here will show you many of the new places where I have been and what I have accomplished.

Mercury Transit

May 10, 2016 By CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

        It was about 10 years since I saw the last Transit of Mercury across the face of sun. The last time I had a lot of time to get set up and practice my exposures on the sun. This year I was working and was only able to get the last hour […]
