A breathtaking night sky displays the Milky Way stretching across the stars above Mount Rainier / Tahoma in Washington state with an iridium flare.
Snow-capped peaks and pine trees stand silhouetted against the horizon, with a road leading into the scene at the Sunrise corridor of the Mount Rainier National Park.
A climber is already on the way to the peak, indicated by their headlights on the side of the mountain at 12:23AM on July 29, 2025. — A breathtaking night sky displays the Milky Way stretching across the stars above Mount Rainier / Tahoma in Washington state with an iridium flare.

📸 Titan Shadow Transit

Every 15 years, Saturn’s rings appear edge-on from Earth. The view may be narrow, but it reveals rare transits of Saturn’s moons and their shadows.

In this image from July 18, Titan crosses Saturn’s face, casting a dark round shadow on its cloud tops.

A telescopic image of Saturn with its rings nearly edge-on, creating a thin horizontal line across the planet. Saturn's banded atmosphere is clearly visible. At the upper left, Saturn’s largest moon Titan appears as a small pale dot, while a round, dark shadow from Titan is cast onto the gas giant’s cloud tops, just above the rings. The contrast between the planet, rings, moon, and shadow makes the scene striking and dynamic.

My journey with photography began about 11 years ago when I bought my first telescope. The photos were terrible, but it ignited a passion for sharing the beauty of the world and universe around us.

I had to sell all my astronomy equipment when my family and I were downsizing and readying ourselves for nursing school 4 years ago, and my daughter and I have talked ever since about how we would one day get a new telescope to see the moon and stars once my nursing program was complete. Last week, that time finally came when I found two people selling their equipment, and long story short I was lucky to end up with a Star Adventurer 2i tracker and a Sky-Watcher 102mm Mak telescope.

While I haven't had the opportunity to test out the telescope with the tracker, I did get out on the night of July 14th to test out the star tracker with my collection of Sigma lenses and the images above are single exposure test images taken to assess the maximum exposure time with various focal lengths. I also took a few photos of the moon to combine into HDR images.

I hope you enjoy!

Messier 16 - Eagle Nebula

is a visually stunning emission nebula, located in the constellation Serpens, about 7,000 light-years from Earth. It includes the famous Pillars of Creation and reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight, making it best observed in late June.
