The Arizona landscape at night in black and white. I love that the stars and the land are visible.

Another shot from that first night sky photography attempt in Arizona. The Milky Way is obvious in this one, and I love that I got this opportunity to see it and capture it.

While in Arizona, we wanted to take advantage of the Dark Sky certified areas for night photography. I've never tried this before, but I had so much fun and want to learn more. In this first attempt, it appears that I captured a galaxy. Any expert night photographers that can confirm? It's half way down from the top, closer to the right side.

The moon last night was bonkers cool, and cute lil Jupiter is there too!

While I was waiting around for some aurora activity earlier this week, I played around with the OM-1's live composite mode while using my fisheye lens. I've made star trail images before, but it's way more convenient to do it in camera rather than having to stack in post-processing. The clouds created a surreal effect as they moved across the frame. This image is incomplete, as a long exposure would have shown better trailing, but I like the way it came out.
Olympus OM-1.1
Live Composite of 8s exposures
Olympus 8mm fisheye PRO @ f/2.0
Probably 30-40 minutes of exposures

Get Ready For The Epochal Alignment Of 6 Planets in 2026!
Mark your calendars for late February 2026! Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune will align in a rare "planetary parade." This stunning celestial event will be visible shortly after sunset, with several planets appearing in a tight grouping near the western horizon.

The night sky always sends me to the deepest corners of my imagination. It also brings me serenity.

The Pleiades
==========
A year after my first wide-field capture of the Pleiades, I revisited M45 with a tighter composition to reveal more of its hidden structure.
This close-up view brings out the delicate blue wisps of the reflection nebula—filaments, arcs, and soft dust clouds shaped by the hot young stars of the cluster.
With deeper integration and refined processing, this new image highlights just how intricate and dynamic the Pleiades truly are.
