What a beautiful way to end this rainy week. I've been feeling pretty down with all this rain and cloudy skies lately because I've been looking forward to photographing comets, but this sudden burst of color made me happy.

Asymmetry Revisited
Last year we experienced one of the greatest comet encounters since Neowise in 2020: Comet c2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS

My first photo of #comet #lemmon in the early morning hours last Friday. I was hopped up on caffeine the prior night so I was willing to go out at 430am to photograph the comet. This is a 5 minute exposure. #apod #astrophotography #astro #astrophoto #space #astronomy #nightsky

Last night I was hoping to get a photo of #Comet #Lemmon over Lake Champlain but ended up photographing the #Aurora. The sky was fairly overcast when I got there, but after an hour of waiting and taking photos the sky cleared up briefly. #apod #northernlights #vermont #astro #astrophotography

My heart is full of crisp autumn vibes right now. This is a nice little hidden gem in Vermont.

They say that the stars tell us the time of month, but they also guide us through the season. After three years I returned to Huntington Gorge to photograph this scene again. #apod #astrophotography #astrophoto #astronomy #space #milkyway #longexposurephotography #astro #photography

My second attempt at combining a drone photo with a Milky Way photo I took on Saturday. While some may find sky replacement cheating, I think it's creatively acceptable if you are the photographer and both are taken the same day. #apod #milkyway #astrophotogaphy #astrophoto #astronomy #photography

Last night's hazy night skies made a nice composition over some wildflowers. It was hazy just enough for the Milky Way to shine through. I'll share another with a more prominent Milky Way later. #apod #milkyway #astrophoto #nightsky #astrophotographer #vt #space #astronomy

We finally got clear night skies in New England and I was able to find a lupine field with the help of some friends.

I wanted to share a timelapse panorama of the Milky Way and Aurora from June 3rd, but my laptop is struggling to render 800+ photos. So I'm dialing back temporarily with a single panorama. Here's to another trip around the sun. #apod #astrophotography #astrophoto #astronomy #milkyway #vermont

On Monday night, we had a very rare clear night sky. This was my third stop of the night/early morning and I was curious if I could get a Milky Way here. My second stop was a complete failure, but I'll share the first photo of the night later.
