Night Sky at LSPU Sta. Cruz Laguna, Philippines

Night Sky at LSPU (February 13-14 2013)

first time kong pumunta sa isang DARK area, yung tipong onti lang ang light pollution compare dito sa Manila. nakakamiss din magobserve sa madaming STARS, tipong di mo maidentify yung mga constellation sa dami ng stars! :D hahahaha super grabe sarap tumingala sa madaming stars! nagenjoy kaming mga astro students and professors. sana nga makabalik kami sa LSPU! para naman makapagobserve kami ng bonggang bongga... :D

Christmas Night Sky

Christmas day!

Cloudy night! may tropical storm kasi sa Pilipinas kaya medyo cloudy. Anyway, napagbigyan naman ako ng sky na magastrophotography! :) yun nga lang yung mga dapat na target objects ko ay hindi ko nakita dahil nga sa clouds. may next time pa naman! :D

Jupiter and Galilean moons

Moon, Jupiter and Pleiades (Constellation Taurus)

The Christmas Moon

Astronomy Photography at PAGASA Observatory

Astrophotography (December 11-12 2012)

Maganda talaga magastrophotography sa isang lugar na mataas ang place, at malayo sa mga buildings at light pollution ng Makati! nagastrophotography ako sa PAGASA Observatory during our Geminid Meteor Shower observation.

Ursa Major

Night Sky and Sky Glow

Moon and Mercury

Night Sky at Balayan Batangas

Night Sky at Balayan Batangas

Habang bumabyahe papuntang Tagaytay - Nasugbu Batangas, ay nakakakita na ako ng Stars, at nakikita ko na rin ang Moon at ang planet Jupiter sa bintana ng sasakyan, clear skies and dark place kaya maganda magobserve. Nang marating na namin ang Balayan Batangas, ang ganda ng sky! dark place din kahit may onting ilaw para sa kalsada. Ang probinsya ay isa sa mga gagandang observational site para sa mga astronomers, dahil onti lamang ang light pollution at minsan wala talagang light pollution sa lugar. Na pansin ko din na double ang brightness ng Stars sa Batangas kaysa sa Makati na merong light pollution.

the Night Sky at RTU :D

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.
