Lightning and Thunder
Jay Messeroff - August, 2008
Between the lightning, thunder and rain, there hasn't been a lot of opportunity to image this month. On August 16th, I did wait out a phenomenal lightning show at Markham Park to capture Jupiter (along with the Great Red Spot) and the moon Io.
I set up in my driveway a t 3:30AM on August 22nd with the hope of catching images of the morning Comet C/2007 W1 Boattini, located between the Pleiades and the Constellation Aries. Unfortunately, I had operating problems with the telescope and spent all of the early morning trying to get it fixed. As daylight set in, I gave up on the comet and chose instead to capture a few images of the Waning Gibbous Moon, so as not to be a total loss.
