Just Another Luna-tic Photographing March's total lunar eclipse in 🏝️ Florida 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

Just another LUNA-tic! Sharing my experience of photographing a rare lunar eclipse from the Tampa Bay area. victoriajeanbuckman.substack.com/p/just-anoth... #LunarEclipse

This was a challenge to shoot! (THIS IS NOT SKY REPLACEMENT, THIS IS A GENUINE REAL IMAGE) Tons of light pollution, haze and clouds, sunrise creeping in, but I got it! Read the sad story I have to accompany the image!

Fishing In The Dark And getting some great images of the night sky!

Even though the galactic core has set, the Milky Way still amazes me. This shot, I had planned to capture the crescent Moon before it sank below the horizon just after sunset. Got a few more bonus images too! Check out my post for more! open.substack.com/pub/victoria...

@flightclub.io , big fan here. I'm going to the Gantry on Sunday Nov 9 to shoot Blue Origin's New Glenn Escapade(fingers crossed). I don't see this in your list of trajectories yet. Will you be adding it (I hope)?

Shot planned by using @flightclub.io app.

What a Blast... Until It Wasn't I planned for back to back launches on the space coast but my night ended with a sad turn of events.

November 5 Full Moon and a launch!!

Strikes Close To Home There's been a lot of storms lately. This one I was able to catch just after sunset.

I love star clusters but never get good results on my Seestar. They always look gummy and not crisp like yours.

Gulf of Ahhhmazing I spent a full night gazing up at the amazing western gulf skies of Florida; read on to see all of the spectacular images I was able to create! There's even a bonus item for my paid subscribers!

Some lovely Milky Way images from this weekend! And to the handful of new paid subscribers on my blog, there's some extra special content for you in here!!

The Moon Dances With Pleiades Sisters In the pre-dawn light this morning, the Moon had a slow and graceful dance along the sky with the Pleiades star cluster, otherwise known as The Seven Sisters.

I got up early to watch the Moon dance with the Seven Sisters this morning.

Do you know if this Sunday’s "Commercial GTO 1" trajectory will be added? I don’t see it available yet (unless I’m missing something) 😎

Always Worth It I feel like I'm always chasing light into the darkness...

Thanks @flightclub.io for helping me nail another streak shot! See the screenshot of the plan in the blog post.

Light Up The Sky Like The Fourth of July! What's better than fireworks? Either rockets or lightning in my book! This night, I got both!!

Independence Day themed shoot last night! Read about it, see more pics at my blog! Thanks to @flightclub.io for the planning tool to make this happen.

Now, here is to hoping the launch goes tonight, I'll share what I get if it does!

Yessss! That was it, you fixed it!! I knew they were going different directions, but should have lined up if getting launched from the same pad. Thanks for the quick fix! Another reason why I love your program so much!!

@flightclub.io and followers, I feel like I'm losing my mind. I shot this Starlink 6-14 launch from SLC-40. I was planning another shot from the same location for the upcoming Starlink 10-25 launch from SLC-40 and am getting a totally different view. What am I doing wrong?

Planned with @flightclub.io
