News from the observatory:

The cows enjoying one of the last few warm days of Autumn.


I don't know why they do this, and I don't know what they're called, but you can always tell Winter is here when these little weeds form ice on themselves.


And the airplane picture.


My telescope happily following the Moon across the sky. When it's tracking something, it makes little chirping sounds like a cricket. Sounds like it's from outer space itself!


The Moon and the Seven Sisters on the rise. The Seven Sisters are the little dipper looking thing (but not the Little Dipper) under the tree branches, left side.


The waxing gibbous Moon. This picture was actually taken through high thin clouds.
