Enjoy your day away!
Happy Labor Day!
The field is ready for tonight's showdown with Central Noble...are you? Kick-off between the Falcons and Cougars is at 7 p.m. tonight, we'll see you there!
OK, so this worked out pretty cool tonight.
The 'Blue Moon' did not disappoint, super cool to see. But to also see Saturn, awesome!
I used my 500mm lens and camera frame that I always use for ballgames and aimed at space tonight. Really neat to see the universe at our fingertips! Photos were taken around 11:25 p.m. pointing southeast. The Saturn image is a little rough, but I'm standing in my backyard without a planetarium-grade telescope at my disposal!!!
Just thought I would share!
