I believe the Aurora Borealis can be categorized as #Sunlight to fit the theme of this week's #BlueSkyArtShow. This was taken on the eastern plains of Colorado #astrophotography #photography #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis #photographersofbluesky #photographersunited #nightsky #stars #Colorado

Keep in mind that if it's cloudy tonight, you can make your own lunar eclipse photos with a tortilla, a black backdrop and some sea salt. Follow me for more astrophotography tips. #photography #astrophotography #composite #eclipse #lunareclipse #moon #photographersofbluesky #photographersunited

Proud teacher moment! I conducted an astrophotograpy workshop for some high school students in Westcliffe, CO last week. One student shot 3 frames on his own to capture the entire mountain range. They stitched together perfectly into this panorama. #astrophotography #photography #colorado #stars
