May 11: Moonrise over Lake George I visited my lady friend Laura in upstate New York and while there took time out to get some pictures of the almost full Moon rising over Lake George from one of the public access parks in Bolton Landing. |

May 8: Jupiter from Guam My good friend Action Jackson was on travel to the Pacific and got this beautiful shot of twilight from a beach in Guam that also included the faint speck of Jupiter near the top of the image. |

May 6: Jupiter in the Evening Jupiter is sinking into the twilight as May progresses. Here we see it in eastern Taurus, still almost directly above Aldebaran, and slowly encroaching on the ecliptic. |

May 5: Sun with Massive Sunspot Group Our cloudy weather broke just in time for me to attempt a shot of the huge sunspot group 4079 while it was near the middle of the solar disk. |

May 4: Mars in the Beehive and Quiescent T CrB We had a nice view of Mars in the midst of the Beehive cluster, otherwise known as M 44 in Cancer, despite the bright first quarter Moon nearby. Also, we have yet another look at the northern crown, Corona Borealis, to check in on the Blaze Star, known as T Coronae Borealis. It barely registered a few faintly illuminated pixels, so there is clearly still no eruption. |
