I am hoping for a few more clear night skies this month. It's been a while since I did much star-gazing. For the film this month, here's a bit about the phases of the moon - just in case you want to join me!
Menoturals for First Friday Filmclub
Yes, I am combining Nature Friday with FFFclub this month. By happy circumstance, there were clear skies on Feb 28th and March 1st, so I could take in the planetary alignment - I missed seeing Mercury but got a glimpse of the rest (binoculars helped). Most of all, last Saturday, though, I was adoring the slivered new moon... I could have dug out the Hisstix and taken more serious photos. However, I opted to use the Gopika (phone) camera, and here you see the setting above the landscape, a zoom-in, and a close-up.

The planetary alignment was supposed to be best viewed here on 3 March - cloudy. I had already been watching them get into line, nightly, since early Feb.
ReplyDeletewow... we missed it... as soon as something special appears, we sleep like a log... crazy LOL
ReplyDeleteI'll be on the lookout. The sky is rather cloudy these days around here.

ReplyDeleteI am not a moon watcher, but the video did have some cool shots of the moon and I love the beginning shots of the photographer. your cell did a super job with your assistant grabbing the moon

What great photos! I walked outside and looked up in the sky several nights in a row. It was amazing!
ReplyDeleteCool pictures. Our weather has been mostly cloudy so we rarely get to see the sun or the moon.
ReplyDeleteThe stars and moon were brilliant here on the 28th too!! Thanks for the video giving us the heads up for what to look for in March!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are just beautiful!
