Fog at home but 10km driving into Langdorp, a clear sky.

Lunar Eclipse - a compilation

I made a compilation of the Lunar Eclipse of January 21, 2019. I took 9 pictures to make the compilation. All pictures made with Nikon D7500 and TLAPO 80/480 f/6. Nikon RAW was converted to DNG in view of editing in CS4.


I'm happy and proud of this result as this is my first Total Lunar Eclipse I was able to photograph completely from beginning till the end.

Jupiter Venus Close Conjunction 20-23 January

Past week, Jupiter and Venus could be observed at the morning sky. The close conjuction and the way the planets move across the sky is seen easily on below two pictures.

Lunar Eclipse - a compilation

A total of 212 pictures were taken of the Lunar Eclipse last monday, Jan 21, 2019. I made a selection of 7 pictures to make a small compilation. It's a first trial and I'm not 100% satisfied of the result... but it's time consuming so I will try later once more :)
