Four Years of Asteroid and Comet Data

April 29, 2018 by Loran Hughes

Guess what? There's a lot of stuff floating around in our solar system. NASA's NEOWISE satellite detected more than 29,000 asteroids, nearly 800 of which are near-earth objects.

International Space Station Lunar Transit

April 28, 2018 by Loran Hughes in Moon

I caught the International Space Station transiting the moon in the daylight hours. It flashes through the frame in under a second! Want to catch a transit? Use the ISS Transit Finder website to plot your encounter.

Equipment: Celestron C11 on a CGX mount, f6.3 focal reducer, Nikon D5300.
