A selfie of me observing with the Orion StarBlast 6 Newtonian telescope on my deck, looking at Orion. I am looking at the Orion Nebula. Sirius is just over my shoulder. This was on a very fine night January 25, 2020. Taken with the Canon 60Da and 10-22mm Canon lens. Taken for a book illustration.
A selfie of me observing the grouping of Venus and Saturn in the evening twilight on Dec 8, 2019, using binoculars. They were closest to each other two nights later. I shot this for a book illustration.
A selfie of me observing the waxing gibbous Moon in the evening twilight on Dec 8, 2019, using binoculars. I shot this for a book illustration. This is a blend of a long exposure for the sky and foreground and a short exposure for the Moon to retain detail in its disk. With the Canon EOS Ra and 15-35mm RF lens at 35mm.
