The appearance of Comet Hyakutake in 1996 had ended a long drought of great comets. But the weather in March 1996 was not very favourable. I was able to see Hyakutake at its closest for 10 minutes only. When I took this single picture 30 years ago today, clouds were coming back already.
Souvenir shot of total Lunar eclipse of 3rd March 2026, around the beginning of totality.🌚 This is from Flamingo Campgrounds in Everglades NP, Florida.

I photographed Neptune and Saturn every 6 to 11 days between 9th May 2025 and 25th February 2026 while both planets traced their retrograde loops.
Now I have a minor planet. It was discovered by Ovidiu Vaduvescu using images by Euronear Project taken at Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma, Spain. This is a 2.2-km wide asteroid, revolving around the Sun every 5.62 years, at an average distance of 470 million km.🗿🙂
