First panoramic effort

Posted By Linton Rohr
I finally decided to have a go with my photo stitching software.
Looks like I need to even out the sky color at one of the seams.
I tend to avoid messing with PhotoShop, too. wink
This is the view to the north of Torrey, Utah at sunrise.
Just west of Capitol Reef.

Night sky landscape

Posted By Linton Rohr
I'm not sure this qualifies for "landscape photography",
but I didn't think it was worthy of the DSLR Astrophotography forum!
Cygnus setting in the west at our Lockwood Valley site a couple weeks ago...

Not only was there a plume...

At a press conference today, researchers revealed preliminary data from NASA's Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, indicating that water exists in a permanently shadowed lunar crater. The discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the Moon.

Bolide over northern Utah/Idaho

Posted By Linton Rohr
Several reports coming about the large Utah fireball.
Video available. Looks like a good chance for a meteorite.
One witness describes a "large green fireball about the size of the moon".
Sounds like it might have gone down in the Great Salt Desert.
I'm thinking about going.

Hawaiian Rainbow

To go with my earlier Moonbow, here's a normal daytime rainbow on the Big Island.
Rainbows are quite frequent in The Islands.
