A funny thing happened on the way to the farm... After getting home from volleyball tonight, I was heading over to the Pumpkin Shed – yes, in the dark – to take pictures of their lighted inflatable Halloween decorations since I had nothing good to blog about.
I saw a dark figure around the bend and sure enough it was good neighbor Mike. With a binoculars and a telescope. Basically, he just needed to point me to the two stars above the neighbor's tree then a little to the right and up and I saw the infamous A3 (Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)! Not really with the naked eye but with my phone camera.
I texted hubby to come look through the binoculars at least since neither of us will be around in 80,000 years unless we're haunting this sacred piece of land on Bluejay Drive!
Got a few more pictures of that big ol' Hunters' Moon, too, on my short walk back home.
The photographer in me thought it might look more striking with some of the trees in yard as the foreground.
I could almost see ET riding his bicycle through the sky on this one! Love me some sky images!
Now I can quit talking about what I am missing and hopefully focus on what I DO see!
Happy viewing, everyone!
