Well it might not mean much to you, but I am pretty damn proud.

From our (urban) backyard tonight.

#astronomy #astrophotography Who can explain this? Ok here’s a question more for astronomy experts than astrophotography people. Early this morning I was somehow shooting bursts, of Jupiter (I think), trying to capture shots of Galilean moons. The timestamps all show 4:41 am Pacific Daylight Time (US). There are over 100 shots. Many appear to show a blurred disc. However some of them show a clear occlusion (eclipse) effect. There is obviously a big gap between shot #1 and 2,3 and 4 but they are in time order and they all have a 4:41 LA time timestamp. Any experts in the group have an explanation?

Mars and Regulus. (Mars is the red one.)
