Astronomy and Photography

… is all that I can say. The whole autumn no single clear night with no Moon! No single deep-sky picture. I am becoming frustrated of this!!!

Do you know now why I haven’t posted anything here since October? It’s pretty obvious I don’t have the stuff to show.

Yesterday a friend of mine noticed me that’s clear outside. I went the the balcony, to check the situation, but saw just the fog. But the satellite images have shown that this might be just in valleys… So I decided to check the situation on Bohor.

The decision turned to be pretty good. While driving up the hill, I passed the cloud cover. If only there hadn’t been the Moon on the sky, I would have excellent night, but so I ended just with observing some the most bright DSOs in the winter sky with 10×50 bino and a ‘moonwalk’ Before I packed up I took these two pictures:

Today I am going to Lastovo with group of 6 other enthusiastic astronomers from Slovenia. We will take part of Dark Sky Camp which will last from Monday to Friday. This is one of the nearest location for us, where the sky is still untouched and unpolluted.

I am sure we will have a great time! Wish us clear skies
