March 2026 total lunar eclipse: Everything you need to know about the next 'blood moon' A total lunar eclipse on March 3-4, 2026, will be visible in North America and will be the last total lunar eclipse anywhere on Earth until New Year's Eve 2028-2029.

I received a Christmas Eve gift of mostly clear skies tonight. So the only thing to do was train the telescope on the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). Merry Christmas everyone who marvel at the night sky.

What if you want to take a photo of an area of the night sky that is larger than your telescope's field of view? Well, you have your telescope system take a photo mosaic made up of multiple images linked together. That is what I tested using my Vaonis Vespera Pro smart telescope the other night on M42 in Orion. The total exposure time was only 15 mins.

Aurora seen in Colorado Springs, CO this evening under clear skies due to recent Coronal Mass Ejection-CME that was directed towards the Earth.
