Silhouettes of Jets and Birds Passing in Front of the Sun.
Today while viewing the sunspots (currently at or near the solar maximum) with a Stellina and Vespera Classic automated telescope, I captured images of jets and birds passing in front of the sun.
Individual images in the slideshow are available in my Photoshelter Gallery.
What I Hope to See Tomorrow — Mars Occultation.
A simulation view created by the Stellarium application of the Mars Occultation by the full Moon tomorrow evening. The difficulty will be the significant difference in the light levels between the full Moon and the planet Mars. The forecast for tomorrow night at the time of the occultation is for a Clear Sky.
