All posts featuring astronomical photos
The moon is also known to eclipse planets, and one such event involving Jupiter happened in August 2012. This event is called the lunar occultation of Jupiter, and is a relatively rare astronomical event. The event was visible throughout the country. I was able to observe and photograph it from Quezon City, Philippines, using a Sky-Watcher Equinox 100ED and a DSLR camera.

A rare astronomical event called the Venus Transit of the Sun occurred in June 2012, visible in the Philippines. The planet Venus, appearing as a small dot, is observed to transit or move across the disk of the Sun, imaged with a Sky-Watcher Equinox 100ED, a DSLR camera, and a Baader ND 5.0 solar filter. Venus and a number of sunspots are visible in the photo.

This photo was taken in December 2011, in Antipolo, Philippines, during a total lunar eclipse. The moon appears red during totality and as it dims (in contrast to a bright full moon), the faint stars surrounding the moon becomes visible!
