Hartford’s full Sturgeon Moon

August 3, 2012 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

The full Sturgeon Moon was in the right place for the past several days as I went into work this week at about 5:15am for some great astrophotography! Here are a couple of shots from downtown Hartford as the moon was setting. First the iconic Travelers Tower, which was mysteriously dark before sunrise today. Second, is one of the angels on the Soldiers and Sailors … [Read more...]

Welcome

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. A better blog site to keep in touch with you all, and finally, a new project that I have been working on for the past year which I will be announcing in the next few months. Stay tuned a lot of neat stuff will be happening!
