The celestial landscape look terrific , downright  wolfish ...oooooo...but not  the right one  for the Moon eclipse observations.

I start learning how to cheat the camera to see some lunar details with his own objective at the maximum zoom !

All pictures taken with a Nikon Coolpix S3300 compact digital camera on a Velbon photo-tripod.

The time was midnight of the night before the Total Moon Eclipse of September 28.

Sigma 2404,Enif ,Iota Cas ,Messier 15 ,NGC 6709 through my 60x828mm refractor

Uranus and two Astronomical League Double Stars /Uranus si doua stele duble din lista AL

Uranus (center) ,to the S - SE of Zeta Pisci ,on 30 August 2015 in the ''zoth'' 60 x 828 mm
DIY refractor at 33 x / Sirius Plossl 25 mm.
The planet was found first in the 7x50mm ''Mariner '' Fujinon  binocular using the printable version of this ''Sky&Telescope'' map:

A closer look to Uranus using the same ''zoth'' 60 x 828 mm DIY refractor T 207 x ,Kasai 4 mm ocular: a puffy ,very small disc of bluish-grey color in nice contrast with the yellow or light orange star located further to S - SE.

57 Aquilae in the 60 x 828 mm refractor ,easy pray at 33x / Plossl 25 mm.
Look carefully ,to the S -SE there is a much dimmer double star ,about 20% wider
than 57 Aql and with the companion located at PA = 280 degree.

Alpha Capricorni ,a composite view.
In the 60 x 828 mm refractor at 65 x / Solid Simetric 12.8 mm ocular ,
 there are visible the two main bright stars ,located  at PA = 290 degree;
and two really dim companions ,one at PA = 210 deg. and the other at PA = 150 deg.
In the 125mm F/7 Newtonian reflector I noticed a fifth companion ,closer to the bright main star and located at about PA = 290 degree , to the Est of the multiple star system.

On August 28 the sky was again hazy,the Moon close to Full , another Moon Corona with thousand faces was ''on the air'' !
Pe 28 August cerul a fost din nou nebulos , Luna in preajma fazei pline , toate conditiile pentru un nou spectacol al coroanei lunare cu o mie de fete!

All pics taken with a Nikon Coolpix S3300 compact camera on an old, all- metal  Velbon tripod.

Toate pozele au fost luate cu o camera compacta Nikon Coolpix S3300 asezata pe un vechi trepied Velbon de constructie integral metalica.
