      I happened to see this last night on my way to the Stations at the Cathedral. St Augustine is a remarkably dark little town and you can see the stars very clearly in many parts of it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Venus that bright. Quite remarkable. Great photos!

      Our Lord is quite the artist!

      Nice photos, Father! How did you get that first photo? What kind of lense did you use???

      Father, I love all those photographs, but I especially love the one of the chapel at night. That is such a peaceful scene. Thank you for sharing, Father

      I was on my way home from Stations, too, I live about 9 miles from our church…as soon as I saw it I thought, oh, I sure hope Fr. Z. is photographing this!! The scene was obscured a little by thin clouds, but there was no mistaking what was happening…it reminded me of the Turkish national flag…a crescent moon with a star.

      Thanks for the photos.

      Nice photos. Father would you care to share the details of your technical setup – camera, lens (& telescope?).

      cheers

      Ooooo… Cheshire cat moon!

    13. I used a Canon 20D and a Canon 75-300 zoom set up on a tripod which a reader here sent me through my amazon wish list as well as a shutter trip cord sent by another reader.

      Thanks Father, impressive results and nice kit :-) I love your bird shots too.

      I saw that from my window as well!

      What beautiful photos, Fr. Z!

      ‘Cheshire cat moon’ ? Perhaps….but I prefer to call it an ‘Immaculate Conception moon’!
