That is awesome!
My 14 YO stepson is way in to that stuff. We bought him a telescope last year. He asked (begged?) to stay up to see it and we let him. He was totally disappointed that (in his words) "right as it started to get good, the stupid clouds blew in and covered everything!" he was severely bummed.
Sorry the young man had poor weather-- there is another one October 8 of this year so hopefully he can get a rematch
The clouds didn't break up until almost midnight where I was and I thought it was going to be a wash
The wind picked up and blew the clouds towards St Chuck County ( I was in Lincoln County)
It got a bit chilly with the breeze and below freezing temps
The really good images are usually made with a telescope that has an adapter for a DSLR or an advanced point and shoot
This was my first try at doing this kind of photography and now that I know what I did poorly-- the next time in October will be better
October will be here before he knows it and hopefully the weather will cooperate for him
