We had a disturbance at 4 am which hurled me out of bed. Of course the camera went along. Just in case. There was a full moon just setting over Lions Head. Not a brilliant image, but fun anyway.

Full Moon
This is a set of photographs that I took when going to photograph a full moon. The clouds, as usual came up and messed up the moon, but they did leave me with some fine sunset photographs
The only pictures I got of the full moon. And then sunset came
Sunset and Full Moon in Cape Town
This evening it is full moon and I was fortunate enough to be on Table Mountain for the rise of the moon and the setting of the sun. I got some lovely pictures.

Mars is very bright tonight and right next to the moon.
Moon Venus Conjunction
Astrophotography from Cape Town CBD is not an easy thing, but you can get some rather nice photographs if you try hard enough.
Full Moon
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.
Moon Jupiter Conjunction
Recently there was a moon Jupiter conjunction. A wonderful sight.
It gave me a chance to brush up on my astro-photography
Conjunction
Tonight the moon is 98% full. Close by are Saturn and Jupiter. And ideal photo opportunity you might say but there were clouds and aerosols so I did not get a hard classical astro-photograph but a dreamy, ephemeral image. I used a little point and shoot camera and it exceeded my expectations.
The Moon and Venus were extremely close on 19 June, 2020 and I was lucky to capture some images.
