The latest from the observatory (and a few extras):


Saying goodbye to Jupiter, the teapot, and the summer Milky Way until next year.



The Moon and spooky clouds.



Last night's waning Moon.



The Milky Way directly overhead, including the Summer Triangle (Altair, Deneb, and Vega), the Dolphin, the tiny little upside down Coathanger if you look closely...... The star clouds of the Milky Way are quite faint, due to being washed out by the bright moonlight.



A very short video of the Seven Sisters rising and the clouds moving in. The glow near the horizon is light pollution from the federal prison.



Mrs. Reverend and Snoopy = inseparable!



BOO!



Happy Halloween!
