I’m an award-winning journalist for my #space coverage for Spectrum News in Florida, where I am a digital news editor. I have a long career in newspapers & news sites. I’m a family guy who enjoys #astronomy & #astrophotography.
That is an amazing capture!
That is more detailed than what I got of Io earlier this year.
And I love the facts you shared.

The #BeaverMoon — #Supermoon — over Orlando.
I was happy I could capture this. I used my #Celestron NexStar 8SE #telescope and #Canon camera.
(The photo of the moon over #Orlando is a composite and whatnot.)

And she’s only about 241,500 miles away from us.

I was finally able to get #Jupiter’s #GreatRedSpot pretty well. (Friday, Oct. 24, 2025)
I’m still learning the ZWO ASI 678MC camera and using the SharpCap.
It’s still not as clear as I hoped it would be. But I am learning.

I took this with my #Celestron NexStar 8SE telescope and ZWO camera on Sunday, Oct. 19, 2025.
I need to invest in a few heater.
