I had intended on going out to take photos of the eclipse, but instead found myself enthralled with the total view of the night sky. This, my friends, is why you move out to the country.

Here’s the Eclipse, nearly full.

The Starry Night photo is very, very nice! That would make a nice large framed and matted print.

Derek, wonderful pictures.
I lived in Holland as a kid (Hi!) and remember more than a few starry nights when the only light was from the Fisher Price factory on the other hill. Your pictures were much better than any I ever took back then!
I saw you commenting in my brother Paul’s blog, and couldn’t resist responding to a fellow Dutchman ;>
Oh - congratulations on the new expectant arrival.
