New Year’s Fireworks #7


That’s the last one of the fireworks photos and actually the only one with more than one or two going off at the same time. Even though I was taking 15-second exposures back-to-back, I didn’t catch all that many fireworks explosions this time! In this one, you can also see a couple of short star trails – the bright one in the top right corner is actually Jupiter, which was shining very bright!

Another twofer, there were lots of rockets going off but mostly one after another!

Getting two in one frame was the big exception.

New Year’s Fireworks #3


This is actually only a crop from a much larger image,
but at least I have enough space with 10 megapixels for that now!

And here’s the “real” first Moon from 2015, taken about 16:30 this afternoon just in time before it got a bit too hazy to take clear photos. Happy New Astronomy Year 2015 :-).

New Year’s Fireworks #2


It wasn’t so easy getting decent fireworks photos with the new camera, since I didn’t have a chance to try it out before, but a couple of photos were salvageable. I think I’m going to post them all today instead of the flowers, which I’ll bring back tomorrow :-).

And the first Moon of 2015, taken at about 2am when the Moon was just on the other side of the house… it was worth staying up to start the new year with astrophotography :-). And the “real” first Moon of 2015 from just a moment ago is coming up soon, too – still needs to be processed, though!

The last Moon of 2014, taken at about 17:15. We had some incredibly clear skies later yesterday on New Year’s Eve and even managed to have a good look at Jupiter through the telescope!

Wish you all a Happy New Year!
