Guest Star

This is a photo taken back in 1996. It's Saturday morning, March 23rd just after midnight San Francisco time. The stars rising over the house belong to the constellation of Bootes. Arcturus (pardon the spherical aberration) is the bright star to the upper right. Meanwhile, Izar (Epsilon Bootis) has a bright blue green guest: the comet Hyakutake. ;-)

'Akin'

I was planning on posting this tonight, when the lights went out. Hmmm.

The original (color) photograph was taken around 2 or 2:30am PST, Sunday , October 31st, 1982. It had rained earlier during the day, but now the skies were clear, and the waxing gibbous moon was well on its way to setting in the west. The driveway points almost due west at 266.7° azimuth.
