Update…

Hello all! I am sorry I have not posted anything in a while. I have recently gone back to Athens, GA, and the University of Georgia, and as of yet, I do not have internet at my apartment. Hopefully this will be rectified soon. I would like to thank again everyone for their comments! Thanks!

Sincerely,
Jared Holloway

Moon – Selma, AL – 8/9/08

This past weekend, my brothers and I had the wonderful opportunity to visit some of our real good friends who live in Selma, Alabama. I took my telescope because I knew they lived in tghe country, and it would be dark. I was able to get some really good images. To keep with my Moon theme, here is a shot of the moon. More to come later!

Like the last post, here is the Moon from tonight, plus the difference in phase from the past three nights. I have some shots more up close, both from last night and tonight, and when I get around to processing them, I will post them.

Okay, I lied, its was not completely cloudy, still, local lights messed with these shot more then I would have liked!

Changes… :)

I’ve made a couple of changes on the blog… all dealing with the “Pages” section at the top of the page. First, I put together all of the Apologetics stuff and all of the Poetry stuff on one page each. Next, I have added The Moon and Constellation pages, in which I have posted some of my favorite pictures of both. I will add to them.

Also, I have changed my Links on the right side of my page. All of the links under the Astronomy heading are “official” astronomy links, under friends I have placed peoples blogs and web pages which I faithfully check, especially Andrew’s (Above the clouds) and Bob’s (Blackholes and Astrostuff) pages. I also include a link to Covington Innovations – which is the official web page for Dr. Michael Covington, a professor at the University of Georgia, who has been a great help in getting my astrophotography stuff in order. I would also like ot thank Dr. Maurice Snook, formally of UGA who has also helped me, as of yet, as far as I know, he does not have a web page of his on. Also, thanks to Fr. Mike Birdsong, aka Big Bro, who is so much of a big brother to me it can be ridiculous sometimes! Just kidding!

Lastly, I took off the links concerning the Charismatic Episcopal Church, not because I am no longer a member – I am, but because of the controversial nature of some of my apologetic and philosophical discussions and posts. The CEC’s web page can still be found at http://www.iccec.org, and the CEC News website is still http://www.cechome.com.

It is cloudy tonight, so probably no new pictures, but new ones will be available soon!

Thanks so much to everyone who has visited and commented! Please keep the comments coming!
