October Night Sky

Night Sky

I've been busy last month, so I decided to update my blog this November. October is been very good for Stargazing and Astronomical events because of the clear skies that we experienced. Especially the Orionid meteor shower and the Hunter's Moon of the October. This October I used my DSLR camera for astrophotography but still I'm enhancing it, but I took some photos of the Orion Nebula (M42), this just mean that the winter triangle and winter constellations are very visible now. CLEAR SKIES is usual and the cold air is approaching. I always used now my telescope "Luna" for observation of the Moon and the planet Jupiter. Speaking of Jupiter, the planet is very visible to night sky together with the Taurus constellation. Winter constellation is very easy to memories because of the objects that are visible near to the constellation.

Here are some Photos of the Night Sky and some Celestial objects.
