Pictures of the moon at Perigee last night. The closest the moon has been to Earth in it’s orbit in 18 years (since 1993) and will be another 18 or so years that it’s that big again. Not only was it the closest it’s been in years but it was also a full moon, making it an even more rare view.

Sorry Tumblr.
I’m sorry tumblr I’ve neglected you, between work, the dog, and my new hobby of astronomy I’ve been pretty busy and haven’t done anything here other than link to my blogs. I still view it often but I never post anything. Not like anyone misses me or anything. Just felt the need to apologize.

Double Cluster (NGC 884/869) and Bode →
Last night I went out and did a bit of viewing. I didn’t hop around much as the skies were pretty clear, clearer than I’ve seen since I got the telescope, so I mainly focused on the Double Cluster (NGC 884 and NGC 869), and the Bodes Nebula (M81) which I had also gotten M82 in the shot. Since they’re both very close by in my field of view, it’s not too surprising.

Information on the moon at Perigee tonight and what perigee and apogee are, the effects of the full moon, and why the moon looks larger on the horizon when it rises and sets.

Best Night Of Viewing Yet →
…Last night I got a good view of some clusters, Messier-41 (I will shorten the name Messier to just ‘M’ so be warned) and NGC 884/869 (double cluster), I also got a good view of the Orion Nebula which is almost a must for me to look at EVERY night. A little bit of Pleiades, and a quick attempt at Saturn. I was all over the place last night…

Bob Dylan in Hamilton, Ontario, October 1986
Can’t remember the last time I saw this… hilarious!
I didn’t think it was possible that I could love him more than I already do.
Clearly I was wrong.
Haha that dude getting his picture taken with Dylan is hilarious. “Pull it towards your beard” and “Squeeze...

You are my weakness, you are my strength Nothing I have in the world makes better sense Cause I’m a fish and you’re the sea When we’re together or when we’re apart There’s never a space in between the beat of our hearts Cause I’m the apple and you’re the tree One day at a time is all we do One day at a time is good for you You are my woman, I am your man...

This whole documentary was wonderful.
Neil talks about his love of a good plaid shirt. “I’m a big fabric guy. [laughs] They missed me. The whole fashion industry they totally missed what I was about.” LOL
Plaid and Neil are my favorites :)
Yeah I know how he feels, plaid is my favorite.
