Another Dusky-capped Flycatcher on Arivaca Creek.
A few nights ago it looked like the sunset over Baboquivari Peak might be
pretty spectacular, but it kind of turned into a dud, still nice. This is an HDR image.
Another unknown flower growing in Arivaca Creek. Not in my books. It is very
similar to Triodanis perfoliata (Venus' looking-glass) but the flower structure is different.
Here is Jupiter from last night. Conditions were about as good as they get.
I've never had a night photographing the planets in excellent seeing conditions.
I believe the moon in the upper left is Europa.
Saturn, it is so far away and low on the horizon, I didn't think it would
turn out very well. But, it is the best Saturn photo I've taken.
Another image of Jupiter, I'm having trouble determining which moons these are, as
Stellarium seems to be way off on showing even when the Great Red Spot is
supposed to in view. According to Stellarium, the GRS was supposed to rotate
into view at around 2 AM, but it was already showing up at midnight.
I think it is Ganymede in the lower right and Europa is upper left.
