Tucson from Kitt Peak

Looking back towards Tucson from the 90 inch Bok Telescope on Kitt Peak. This image was taken with a 30 second exposure at f/2.8 with my 10mm fisheye lens.

Total Lunar Eclipse - Totality

This image was taken during totality with a 300mm focal length and an exposure of 1 seconds at f/8, ISO 800.

Total Lunar Eclipse #3

As we neared totality, a small sliver of sunlight still lights the western edge of the Moon while the rest of the Moon is lit by light scattered through the Earth's atmosphere. This image was taken at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/2 seconds at f/8, ISO 800.

Lunar Eclipse II

A little later than the previous image, this was taken with a longer exposure to show the color in the umbral shadow during the lunar eclipse. This image was taken at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/20 seconds at f/8, ISO 800.

Total Lunar Eclipse #1

Earlier tonight, we watched a total Lunar Eclipse unfold. Here is an image taken just before the umbra had moved halfway across the Moon. This image was taken with my 75-300mm Canon telephoto at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/800 seconds at f/8, ISO 800.

Geminid?

A probable Geminid meteor streaks through the sky over Kitt Peak last Sunday night (December 12/13). The meteor appears at left over the McMath Solar Telescope. Orion is prominant right of center with the constellation Gemini near center top. The fisheye distortion in this 2 minute exposure with my 10mm fisheye at f/2.8 (ISO 800) may account for the meteor pointing closer to Leo than Gemini.
