Quiet Night Skies

As I set out from my home station, I was surprised to see that there was a little bit of viewable sky.  Of course, as I got out in the yard I saw the perfect example of a planed low in the horizon the was displaying the best example of Atmospheric Convection.

Now I will be the first one to admit that I am not 100% positive that this is what is causing the shifting light of the planets and stars that I have capturing on HD video.  It is something that I learned from one of my viewers, but he did seem quite informed on the subject.

Of course I was not surprised that by the time I got back to the house, and back to the front with my cameras, it was behind a very thick cloud.

As the photo below shows, there was some minor movement, due to a plane flying at very high altitude (two actually). 

If you click on the photo to the right, you will see a light steak in the left about 15° from the horizon.

It's too bad as if I could have gotten some HD footage, it would have been just one more example of the natural effect that is becoming so common as the cause for so many of today's "UFO" sightings.

As I mentioned earlier in this post, as I am not 100% sure that is the cause of the shifting light colors, if anyone here reading this has a better, or more "Educated" opinion, please leave a comment here.

I am always looking for scientific explanations to what I capture.

Here are a few more shots from the evening, well lit with it's Waning Gibbous moon.

 

Miley on Watch.

Here is the little "Jack Hound"  (I call her that because she has an attendancy to hop like a Jack Rabbit with she runs through thick grass or underbrush) on watch ... we are trying to catch the Lake Otters I saw yesterday on video and or still.
