Here are images taken by Bob Moody over a number of years in a wide number of locations and of a wide variety of subjects and/or photo or imaging techniques. Nearly all individual images are described whenever possible. I hope you enjoy my astrophotographs and astronomical images.
 
 November 18-19, 1998 - Night of a Hundred Fireballs! This image of a meteor in the Big Dipper may at first seem to be the subject of this image, and they are to an extent. However, look carefully at the image and find numerous reddish streaks left over from some of the brighter fireballs that had occurred shortly before this image was taken. I stopped the image not long after I began the exposure since I noticed the meteor had actually appeared in the frame of this photo. The trains from the previous bright meteors was NOT visible to our naked eyes, but showed up fairly well in this image.

 In winter 1992-1993, a pair of nesting eagles were easy to photograph from a few hundred yards away in a tree top just off the shoreline at Kerr Lake west of Sallisaw.

 Here's a pic of the 1st Qtr Moon from 2002? where I simply used a modest Canon PowerShot A10 at automatic settings and zoomed, while holding the camera up to the eyepiece of my 12.5: f/7 truss-tube Dobsonian. Not bad for one of my earliest attempts at afocal astroimaging

 Here's a picture that's near and dear to me, my own image of the representation of the Supernova of 1054 from Chaco Canyon, NM. This supernova was seen by many civilizations around the world on the evening of July 4, 1054, and very similar images were created by a few of these remote ancient cultures from around the Earth. I longed to see this for myself since the mid-1980's, and I finally was able to see it during a trip to the area with Jay Hilgratner in the fall of 2005.
