• Double Perseids by Sean Goebel Via Flickr: This was taken during a Subaru-organized photoshoot I did a few days ago. The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) has imposed a curfew on Mauna Kea and bans the public from the summit after 10 PM. This is enormously counter-productive, because it punishes the amateur astronomers, night photographers, hikers, and hunters who enjoy the mountain in a non-disruptive manner while having no effect on the TMT protesters whatsoever. This policy has made photography of the summit area much more difficult, which is part of the reason I haven’t posted much recently. Now, if I want to take photos on the summit, I coordinate with individual observatories. Even though this image is pointed south and was taken several days before the peak of the Perseid shower, I caught two different Perseid meteors, in the upper right and left. Subaru is on the right, and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) is on the left. The mountain above JCMT is the massive Mauna Loa. The red dot is the Mauna Loa Observatory, where there are several small telescopes and the NOAA collects information about the CO2 content of the atmosphere (and thereby climate change). The three green dots above JCMT are from the Mauna Loa Mars simulation buildings (called HI_SEAS). Nikon 14-24 at 14mm f/2.8 mounted to a Canon 6D.

• The Sky At Night by MsFungi Via Flickr: Taken last night (or the early hours) with my brother as he turned 16! It was such a perfect night and a gorgeous sky, the meteor shower was absolutely incredible! We are so lucky to have such a amazing view of the night sky from our home. Thanks for viewing ;)
