Night Sky at RTU

Last November 6 2012 we decided to have an overnight observation at RTU, our main purpose is to took photos of the Moon, but we also try some deep sky objects and Jupiter. Sir Marigza is the hunter of the deep sky objects while us students also try to sketch and took photos of some celestial objects and constellation (night sky). We also enjoyed the taurid meteor shower! hehehe...

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.
