Tonight's Moon was too lovely to miss even if a skunk insisted on interrupting my astrophotography.

I'm so glad I made the effort to plant spring bulbs years ago. They've repaid that effort every year with this breathtaking view.❤️

This made me smile when I saw it in my garden just now. I hope it makes you smile too.

One of our pollinator gardens, asleep for the winter. We've seen birds & mice eating seeds from the plants. Mourning doves sleep on the ground under the dried plant stems. There are native bees & wasps hibernating in the ground and inside hollow stems. It's a treasure!

All this talk of native plants has me pining for spring. We have been changing our gardens over to mostly native flowers. (You'll have to pry my butterfly bush from my cold, dead hands! Lol)
Our spotted bee balm is a favourite of giant black digger wasps.

I installed the new firmware & software for my Seestar S50. I successfully imaged the nearly full Moon tonight, but could not get the telescope to image any deepsky objects. I will spend the rest of this rare clear night solving the issue. 🤬

It's unusual to still have plants blooming in our garden (Hamilton, ON) in mid-November!

My local astronomy club had a star party this past weekend at a dark site near the Bruce Peninsula. Saturday night was gloriously clear and I snapped this photo of the Milky Way with a Canon 5D DSLR & 14mm lens on a tripod.
