I have been following the Planetary Conjunction all week with Many people at the Astronomy pad. I finally got a widefield photo of the alignment Thursday night 6-17-26 along with a photo of the Milky Way and the PlaneWave CDK20 telescope.

Today was the occultation of Venus by the Moon. The moon moved in front of Venus from the dark or eathshine side and reappeared on the lit side. I videoed the disappearance, but the Moon shine was too dark to show up. You will notice Venus will dim slightly and then wink out going behind the rim of the Moon. I did not get the reappearance as it was too windy for the Planewave CDK20. At 12:55PM local time. Truly a site to see!

I was basking in the star-studded stellar beauty of the Milkyway and Sagittarius early this morning at the astronomy pad. The first photo is a wide-angle view of the galactic core of our Milkyway galaxy. All of the other photos are within this cloud around the Constellation Sagittarius that is filled with star clusters taken with the Planewave CDK20. Cosmicmark

The last few nights I have been acquiring some faint photons from the far reaches of the universe. Here are some of the best ones which includes some unusual shaped galaxies. I have taken almost 300 photos so far this year with the Planewave CDK20 telescope. 4-20-26
