Recently I bought an attachment that would allow me to take photographs with my cell phone mounted on my 8″ Newtonian reflector. After much cursing and swearing, I captured some great pictures. These two photos were possibly the best.
The Moon and Venus were extremely close on 19 June, 2020 and I was lucky to capture some images.
Some Astro photography pics
Scorpio sets behind a stand of Casuarinas in McGregor.
Living in Gardens Cape Town is a privilege. The views are extraordinary. Here are some night time photos. Venus and the moon in close conjunction.
We spent a weekend in Grootvadersbosch and the second night was really good for astronomy. Clear and near windless. Beautiful!
Long exposure, wide angled images. This one is Venus, Saturn and Scorpio.
The Southern Cross
The new moon sets behind Lions Head as hikers descend from the top after watching the sunset.
During that photographic session I saw a green deep sky object. I am still battling to identify it and figure out why it is green. The red circle on the right is a hiker, the red circle on theleft is Venus, but what is the green object?
Taken in Nieuwoudtville and Augrabies.
