A very low moon

A very low moon in the sky, barely visible from the observatory. I didn't think there would be any sharp pictures but they turned out better than I thought. I just managed to take a picture of the moon before it disappeared behind the trees.

The close-up shows the crater Gassendi is a large lunar impact crater feature located at the northern edge of Mare Humorum. The crater was named after French astronomer Pierre Gassendi by the IAU in 1935.

Short timelapse of the partial solar eclipse from Sweden


 

Red clover with a aphids on it a clear night


A clear night and I came across this red clover. I illuminated it with UV light and used a macro/wide angle lens to capture the fluorescent colors and the starry sky. Then I noticed the aphids that were hanging out under the flower. Later I took an even closer look at the flower with a more powerful macro lens 2.5x.
