$Comet Catalina (C/2013 US10) in the pre-dawn sky, near Venus, on December 6, 2015 as shot from the Quailway Cottage near Portal Arizona, with the comet and Venus over the Peloncillo Mountains of New Mexico. The comet was just visible in small binoculars as a fuzzy spot. Here, in the photo, its two tails, ion and dust tail, are just visible in the bright moonlit sky (the waning crescent Moon was well above Venus this morning). Still, the comet is not as bright nor obvious, even in binoculars as one hoped! The field of view here is a little more than would appear in binoculars. This is a stack of 7 x 30 second tracked exposures with the ground coming from one of the exposures. All at ISO 1600 and f/3.2 with the 135mm telephoto lens and Canon 6D. The lens iris blades provided the diffraction spikes on Venus.$

$The waning crescent Moon in the morning sky of March 16, 2015, taken from New Mexico. It shows the Earthshine illuminating the dark night side of the Moon as well as the sunlit crescent. To show both the dark and bright parts of the Moon I created this image from a high-dynamic range (HDR) stack of 6 exposures, from 1/160 sec to 6 seconds at 2-stop intervals, with the Canon 60Da at ISO 100 and with the TMB 92mm apo refractor at f/4.4.$

$Abell 21, the Medusa Nebula, a large but faint planetary nebula in Gemini. Above and to the right of it is a very loose open cluster NGC 2395. This is a stack of 15 x 8-minute exposures at f/4.4 with the TMB apo refractor and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600. Taken from the backyard of the Silver City, New Mexico, house, March 15, 2015.$

$The March 5 “mini-Moon,” the apogee Moon, the most distant Full Moon of 2015. I processed this image with greatly enhanced vibrance, saturation and contrast to exaggerate the subtle differences in colour in the lunar maria, due to differences in the mineral content of the lava flows that formed the mare ~3.5 to 4 billion years ago. The relatively new impact crater, Tycho, is the bright area at bottom (south) on the luanr disk with bright splash rays emanating from the crater. I shot this with a TMB 92mm refractor with a 2x Barlow lens for an effective f-ratio of about f/12. This is a 1/125th second exposure at ISO100 with the Canon 60Da.$

$Comet Lovejoy (C/2104 Q2) on the night of Dec. 27/28, 2014, as it was approaching the globular cluster M79 at upper right, in Lepus. This is a stack of 5 x 3 minute exposures at ISO 2500 with the Canon 5D MkII and TMB 92mm refractor at f/4.4. Taken from near Silver City, New Mexico.$
