The first Supermoon of 2025, a.k.a. Harvest full moon rises behind the rugged Cascades Mountain range, creating a dramatic silhouette against the evening sky. The warm glow of the sunset enhances the scene, blending hues of orange, pink, and purple.

A breathtaking view of the Milky Way stretches across the night sky above James Island, La Push, Washington state and over the calm waters of the Pacific Ocean, as seen from Rialto Beach.
James Island (called A-ka-lat in the Quileute language, meaning "Top of the Rock") is a small island located right at the mouth of the Quillayute River.
In 1966, the United States Department of the Interior gave the island back to the Quileute people. It was recognized as part of their historic Quileute Indian Reservation and no people outside of the Quileute tribe are allowed on the island.

The stars sparkled brilliantly on that moonless night, set against a tranquil and serene seascape that captured the majesty of nature. Subtle lights of La Push on the horizon added a sense of depth and mystery to the scene on August 22, 2025.
Single exposure image.

"approved" and safe Eclipse filters are starting to get harder to get delivered by the eclipse date (esp if you want to do some testing ahead of time). Lots of glasses styles still available though I assume they will start to get harder to get delivered soonish #eclipse #solareclipse #filters #astrophotography

Two towering rock formations rise from Rialto Beach, silhouetted against a breathtaking backdrop of the Milky Way galaxy. The brilliant stars illuminate the night sky, creating a captivating contrast with the dark sea stacks. A serene and mystical atmosphere envelops the scene, inviting reflection and wonder at La Push, on the Washington coastline.

Had a nice trip to Cannon Beach, OR, where we were treated with clear night skies last week; here’s one of my single exposure captures of the Milky Way before the season ends.

A mesmerizing view of Haystack Rock against the backdrop of a star-filled sky with the Milky Way core centered above the massive rock.
The reflection of Haystack Rock and the stars in the water adds to the scene's dreamlike quality.

In the words of spaceweather.com, this is a sunspot about which "[e]ven Richard Carrington would be impressed."

These mean looking sunspots are the cause of the strongest geomagnetic storm (G5 - Severe) in 20 years!

They are really huge, spanning about 16 Earth diameters. Auroras are happening now and probably will continue over the weekend.

Pic with a 2415mm focal length Dall-Kirkham telescope with a 2X Barlow, a Baader Astrosolar filter, and a bandpass infrared filter (850 nm).

A memory from July 16th, 2020 - Comet Neowise on the NW sky. We could see it over a few consecutive nights about 2 hours after sunset..

Just started out learning photography around that time, didn’t have an editing software, other than my phone, so it’s noisy…
Blended image, taken from the same spot (my balcony) few seconds apart at 560mm and brought them a little bit closer to each other to fit the frame…

Saying goodbye to comet A6 Lemmon. It's getting very low, and clouds are increasing in southern New Mexico.

It was a remarkable run of many clear nights.

This is a single exposure on a fixed tripod.

There's a blurred silhouette of a power line, and satellite trails in this image. They belong in the frame because this is the world we have created. It's getting increasingly difficult to escape to pristine nature.

Perhaps the phrase 'pristine nature' is now an oxymoron?

When is the first No Kings General Strike?

We all need to help with community building and boosting civic engagement. These activities have atrophied for decades, and it shows.

The comet is sporting a whitish dust tail in this evening twilight image. The blue ion tail does not show because this is a single, short exposure and the lingering blue of twilight overwhelms the ion tail.

The brightest star near the comet is η Ophiuchi, also known as Sabik.

A few cirrus clouds are in the starry twilight sky, but they don't mask the comet or its tail.

Victoria isn't particularly known for #aurora, but with the sun being at its solar maximum it's a great time to keep an eye on the night sky.

Despite spending about 9 weeks in Iceland and Norway (during late autumn/winter) the past 18 months, two of the best Auroras I've ever seen have been right here where you normally never see them. Fingers crossed for some more soon!

Rock stacks on Victoria, Australia's Great Ocean Road with the Aurora Australis shining behind in greens and reds. The aurora is gently reflected in the wet foreground sands.

Here's my second go at processing my wide-field image of the region of the sky around Orion. It took me a lot of effort to figure out how to get it to look decent, but I'm much happier with it now!

New version of my time lapse of the northern lights above Göttingen on the evening of January 20, 2026 (one day after the major show). 74 individual images first reduced in size, then contrast enhanced and brightness reduced, then combined into an animation. 15-minute sequence.

I'm a bit embarrassed at myself because I just want to keep playing this over and over and relive those magic moments 😬
