A Night Enjoying Some MoonShine

I had a blast taking photos of  my house, my dog Sophy (little brown one) and my nephew/ ol stargazing buddie  Spirit (white dog). Yes I called Spirit my nephew, he is my brothers dog.  I got inspired by my friend Martin McKenna  the NightSkyHunter's photos of his antics under the stars and wow I had a blast.

You might want to click the photos bigger and brighten your screen to see the sky. Some are not as clear, but, I'm happy to get some shots. Me and Sophy are in one shot and  one of them even has the moon splashing it's light on my laundry room floor! I used no flash at all, brightened up my camera to the brightest and on night setting with Fuji digital camera, nothing fancy.

I love it when the moon light is on my house and  coming through the windows onto the floor and I am so happy I actually have photos of it. One of my house chimney photos has a streak above it, that is an airplane passing by!

Thanks for sharing your interesting life behind the telescope lens!

I love the airplane streak and a chimney at night is really interesting to me.

I'm surprised no one on your astronomy buddies list comments lol.

I get a kick out of subtle sky happenings in photo's and the airplane lights going by are interesting to me. You must have an airport by you.
