Today @ 5h48 the astromical winter starts. The sun reaches its lowest excursion relative to the celestial equator.

Solargraph

My pinhole camera's for solargraphs are ready to install!

Comet C/2013US10 Catalina

As from last week till end of february we can observe the Comet C/2013 US10 Catalina. Not a bright comet (magnitured 5à6) but hopefully bright enough to observe with the naked eye. Best timing is around jan 15, 2016 as the comet is closest to the earth. For more information see Comet C/2013 US10 Catalina

Sunrise

Sunrise in Langdorp - Belgium. High clouds and airplanes gave color and striping in the sky.

Moon and Venus

Nice combination of Moon and Venus in the morning sky. Tomorrow morning, december 10, the moon will be illuminated for about 2% and it's only 22h before new moon. On the picture you can observe beautiful earth's shadow on the moon.

It's time to prepare for your selfmade solargraph. See my solargraph page how to start and how to prepare this long exposure picture from the sun.
