To the Moon.

To The Moon

Art thou pale for weariness
of climbing heaven and gazing on the Earth
wandering companion less
among the stars that have a different birth,
and ever changing like a joyless eye
that finds no object worth its constancy.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

International Space Station

This was taken on the 31st May 2006 sometime between 10pm & 11pm, unfortunately I didn't write down the exact time....!!!

As the ISS was passing, I quickly set up the tripod and camera, I managed just 5 shots.

This was the best of them.

Eta Cassiopeia ~ 15/09/06.

The primary star in the η Cassiopeiae system is a yellow dwarf (main sequence) star of spectral type G3V, putting it in the same spectral class as our Sun, which is of spectral type G2V. 

It therefore resembles what our Sun might look like if we were to observe it from η Cassiopeiae.

Gamma Delphini ~ 15/09/06.

Partial solar eclipse 29th March 2006.

10:13 GMT

It had rained the previous day, and this morning the blue sky appeared only long enough to take a few photographs. 

Didn't think I would get to see this event. 

Thank you those cloud free moments.
