Halo Around the Moon



I walked outside tonight and noticed the halo around the Moon and tried to get a picture of it. The focus isn't that great but the halo did come out okay I thought.  There was a halo around it a few nights ago as well but I didn't have my camera with me at the time to try to get a picture of it.

Here is tonight's picture of Jupiter and its moons.  The dot off the the right that is a little further away than the rest is actually a star.  When I took the picture I thought it was a moon until I looked it Stellarium and was proven otherwise.  Io is just to the bottom right of Jupiter's disk barely visible.

And the last picture for this post is another attempt to photograph the Orion Nebula.  I eventually want to be able to get the proper equipment to really get into Astrophotography but I don't really have the money for that yet, so for now I make do with that I can accomplish just using my digital camera.
