It took three of us to get this picture right, I think this one turned out okay! Happy Solstice! Today is the darkest day of the winter, the sun will start making it's way back to us now. I won't see it until January 28th so I still have over a month of darkness left. We still get quite a bit of twilight between 10 AM and 2 PM, so it's really not that dark during most of the day, I wish it was darker, that dang sun gets in the way of taking cool night time pictures!!
I usually do my TAWO trip in the morning when it is much brighter ( and easier to see what I'm doing when I clean stuff on the roof) so I normally can't see any stars out here. But yesterday I had to do a run out to TAWO in the afternoon to switch a valve for one of the science groups and it was much darker and clearer. The blue in this picture is the last of twilight which is still visible around 3:30 PM.
Best pictures of the winter so far I think!!
I turned them into a time lapse, it's pretty short but it's going to take me at least 4 days to upload it, stay tuned!!
