began popping up like dominos in reverse about 1/4 second apart, from

It reached a little fuller than this before it returned to its normal view. Not the best for Eastern Washington but till fun to watch. Just wish I had been in Australia to see the sun disappear. It was great to see the first bit the moon took out of the sun. Pentex 1000, 400 ASA, F 6.3 at 1/250 second. What fun.

 On Monday night I set up the 10" Dobsonian telescope with sun filter to watch the show. I had to maneuver my camera to line up with the 40 mm eyepiece. A fun trick.

 I have been taking pictures of clouds all summer, searching for that one new
moment. On Sunday October 23, 2005 I found myself staring at two sundogs, a
halo and two types of arcs all at the same time. I knew what sundogs and
halos were but had never seen these arcs before. I captured the moment andthen came home to find out what I had viewed. Sundogs are at the same elevation as the sun and 22' from the sun. The sundog is 1' across. It was 3pm in the afternoon and the sky is mine. EOS Digital Canon Rebel, S.S.1/200, ISO 100, 55mm lens. Taken at Sullivan Lake, Washington Suzanne Ruby - Elk, Washington |
 To create all this you need cirrus clouds with flat hexagonal ice crystals
only a few thousandths of an inch across in width and zero degree Fahrenheit. To bring together all this four of these events the sun needs to
be lower in the horizon. Because I couldn't block out the sun the halo was difficult to detect.
Balancing on the halo was two Tangent arcs. The Tangent arcs exist above and
below the sun. Tangent arcs originate at 22' from the sun. EOS Digital Canon Rebel, S.S.1/400, ISO 400, 18 mm lens, Exposure comp -2/3.Suzanne Ruby - Elk, Washington |
 Above the Tangent arcs is the beautiful Circumzenithal arc. It took my
breath away. It was a mini upside down rainbow floating at the zenith in a
sea of frosty blue. It is listed as an inverted, 1/4 circle that is facing
the sun. The sun has to be between 18-26 degrees up from the horizon in order for this to occur.

2001. Taken September 11, 2005 on the 4th anniversary of the event, it shows
the spectacular northern lights reflecting in an Anchorage, Alaska lake,
together with the lights of the Alpenglow Star shining brightly on the
mountainside. The star is actually 325 ordinary 50-watt light bulbs arranged
in the shape of a huge star. Ordinarily, the star is turned on only for the Christmas season, but is now illuminated every year on the eve of
9/11 in memory of the event. I've been trying for the past four years to get a photo of the northern
lights over the Alpenglow Star. Finally, this year all the elements came

This dramatic water tower shadow splitting light rays on a misty night illustrates the thousands of watts of lights pouring up into the night sky. Taken from an overpass in Little Chute, WI, it is one view that is equally
illuminated from the other compass points. Note that the constellation Orion is barely visible through the light pollution, and the photo is nearly overexposed at only a 1.3 second exposure. Taken with a Canon G2.

 I took this photograph April 10 at the Knik River near Palmer, Alaska. This was a very intense burst that lasted approximately 10 minutes. As you can see, the approaching clouds and the nearly full moon could not hide the lights. I think the illumination of the clouds by the moon, and the reflection of the aurora in the Knik River, makes this photo especially unusual and pleasing.See more photos by: Scott McGee |

Sunday July the 10th, a storm in Casper, WY with wonderful energy rolled in. As a weather spotter for the NWS I got up on the roof, enjoying and absorbing the energy and my husband handed me my digital camera. (We have stairs to the flat part of our roof, I know I should not have been on the roof in a lightning storm! :)
I just started snapping pictures as fast as the camera shutter would go and captured one lightning bolt. Soon after that, the hair on the back of my neck started raising and I scurried down off the roof just as fast as I could go! It was scary and fun! After a record breaking week in the high 90's, this cleansing and cooling, gully washing rainstorm was a breath of fresh air.
Peace to you all! -- Jody |

 I could not get the whole cloud in the picture. It was morning, the air was fresh and new and the wind was about it's business. Suzanne Ruby, Elk, Washington |

 The Table Mountain Star Party is the one of the worlds largest gatherings of amateur astronomers and is definitely the best in the West. Every July nearly 1000 astronomers, and hundreds of telescopes of all types, meet on the 6800' mountain top on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. This year brought perfect weather with incredibly clear skies, and
this beautiful soft aurora on our last night. Thanks TMSP for a wonderful time! I hope to see you all there next year.

I have many photos of circumzenithal arcs, which form an up-side-down rainbow above your head, usually the more brilliantly colored ones appear without the cirrus cloud structure. This photo on Oct. 18, 2002 shows an awesome arc forming in a wisp of cirrus cloud.
William Biscorner - Casco, Michigan |
"October has been quite a season for sky phenomenon! I have observed circumzenithal arcs, circumscribed arcs, parhelic circles, sun halos and sun dogs. I have seen many sundogs, usually red, orange and white, but never one in the colors of the rainbow. Quite a site!"

 A total lunar eclipse is caused as the earth shadow passes into the direct
sunlight that illuminates the moon. Some filtered light reaches the moon
causing the orange glow. This series of photos was photographed in the
Anza-Borrego Desert starting at 8:15pm just after the eclipse peak. The full
moon reappeared at about 10:40pm. As the moon rose over the horizon it

It has been several months since the weather had parted to give a view. Traveling the country side gives its own enjoyment. From a buck snorting and prancing because I woke him from his sleep to dogs barking, or a screech owls calling for its room mate to frogs serenading the night. Its always an adventure.

 Oct 24, 2002, I actually observed a 120'
parhelia, or mock sun, located on the parhelic circle. A rare sight and a first for me. Sun dogs are quite common, now that I look for them every chance I get! The 120' parhelia was also observed again Oct. 30! They are faint white spots and hard to photograph. They can be located
easier if the parhelic is present. See more
photos by William Biscorner |
 On Oct. 24, 2002, I observed my first parhelic circle, though incomplete. I have seen sundogs with incredibly long white tails, but I didn't realize the tail started from the sun, through the one sundog, reaching all the way around the horizon and through the other sundog back to the sun again! On Oct. 30, I observed my second parhelic circle, more complete.

 I took this photograph on the evening of December 12. Believe it or not, but this is not a trick or composite photo. Every year around the Christmas holiday, the U.S. Army lights up this huge star on the slopes of Mt. Gordon Lyon, a 4,100 foot high mountain 10 miles east of downtown Anchorage, Alaska. The star is made up of 325
ordinary 50 watt light bulbs, is a couple hundred feet across, and it can be seen from nearly everywhere in Anchorage. On this particular night, there was a layer of low clouds over town, but they were thin enough that the star stood out brightly above them. The unusual color is due to sodium vapor street lights illuminating the clouds from below.

 Here's a photo that I think is perfect for the Christmas season. I took iton November 27, 2004 from a lake near my home in Anchorage, Alaska. It shows the nearly full Moon rising over the Chugach Mountains and the star on Mount Gordon Lyon. Believe it or not, but this is not a trick or composite photo. Every year around the Christmas holiday, the U.S. Army lights up this huge star on the slopes of Mt. Gordon Lyon, a 4,100 foot high mountain 10 miles east of downtown Anchorage, Alaska. The star is made up of 325 ordinary 50-watt light..... --> |
...bulbs strung up on 10-foot high poles to keep it from being buried by snow. The star is several hundred feet across, and it can be seen
