Comet Holmes, November 18th, 200721 viewsComet Holmes was going to transit, Mirfak, in the mellott 20 region of Perseus and I really wanted a picture. the entire state of Ohio was in the throes of a winter storm, so I drove 8 hours to Illinois and the Louisville Astronomy Club's Curby Observatory to obtain this once in a lifetime image.

The June 9th, 2011 Supernova Explosion in M5121 viewsUsually Supernovae are dim and isolated to some obscure part of the sky, making them all to difficult to find and image. This particular one, however went out of it's way to aid us in finding it. Not only did it get quite bright, it positioned itself in a well known, easy to locate Galaxy! How cool is that?

Milky Way above the Southern Horizon21 viewsA collage using black construction paper: folded, torn, and flicked with varying levels of white paint. In the final stages I tried to add an accurate depiction of the brightest stars (you might recognize Sagittarius and Aquila), but messed up enough on Scorpius to just fill in the remainder at random. I think I'll plan that aspect out a little better in the future!
