Fly Me To the Moon

Jupiter's moons that is. My absentness from blogging is simply due to lack of time and creativity.

Shawn's creativity however has been sparked again, somewhat, in the field of astronomy. So, what does he do? He buys an attachment for our telescope to turn it into a giant telephoto lens for our camera. Now, if we could just get a better magnifier on the telescope so we can get a better view of Jupiter and all her moons!!

For now, this is what we got...

To the naked eye this may seem just like a blurred image. But to us it is pretty neat. If you look real close you can see the lines across Jupiter. On a longer exposure Jupiter appears brighter like a star, however you can also get a glimpse of some of her moons. That image on here though would look like a white dot, which I am sure you have all seen before.

I myself have not been playing very much with my camera lately. However I have been taking lots of pics at the soccer games. Hopefully soon I will take the opportunity to go out and just click where ever I see any color. Which right now means almost everywhere. Don't you love Fall?!?!
