It wa supposed to be cloudy but the sky was completely clear.
I took a picture of Comet c/2025 A6 (Lemmon). It is said to be visible with the naked eye - I can't see it without binoculars.

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) is getting a bit brighter and starting to show a faint tail with my very modest equipment.

Very Clear sky this morning - took some photos of Orion, The Orion Nebula, Jupiter Castor and Pollux and Venus just before daybreak...

Misty this morning but I captured Jupiter,Venus the Moon and Mercury anyway.

The ISS cruised through everything too, from the Pleiades down to the vicinity of the Moon.

Nice and clear night and morning for some photography here in southern Ontario.

A quick picture of the Milky Way at around 11:00 pm EDT

In the morning, caught Jupiter, Venus and tiny Mercury at around 5:20am EDT. Took a little closeup of Mercury and then a photo of the waning Moon.

Almost daybreak, 5:45am EDT Aug 16th - can still see Venus and Jupiter.

Can just make out the bright stars Castor and Pollux on the left and Betelguese on the right.

A little cloudy and hazy this morning.

Jupiter and Venus - Aug 11th 4:30am EDT - The sky was clear for a change and is supposed to be clear the next 2 mornings.

Caught 3 of Jupiter's moons in the one photo

The Waning Gibbous Moon was right behind me so I swung the camera around and took a quick photo...

The Waxing Moon - although I'm in southern Ontario the smoke from widfires in northern Ontario has tinged the Moon orange.

Venus and Jupiter drawing closer together in the morning sky. A clear morning with low humidity but some smoke haze from the wildfires in Northern Ontario.

Hoping for some clear mornings around Aug 11th when the two planets will be side by side - from our point of view at least...

Went out at 9:30, it was hazy, humid and a bit cloudy but I managed to take a few quick photos of the Moon and Mars.

5 am would Jupiter be above the tree? It was getting a little light out, some clouds and a little widfire smoke from the fires in Northern Ontario but I took a few photos anyway...

The one photo shows Aldeberon on the right and Capella near the top shining weakly orange through the clouds.

Venus and Saturn in the eastern morning sky.

Actually got better photos back in 2004 - it was a bit too cold last night -4° C, all my equipment was stiff and didn't want to stay focused. Anyway, took a few photos...

The moon and Venus - another cold evening....

Venus and Mercury just after sunset - when the clouds parted briefly. The moon was in clear skies for a while too.
A cold evening in Canada....
