This Comet McNaught footage was shot from the Sierra Nevada foothills between South Lake Tahoe and Sacramento, California. There is a bit of haze, but it was clearly visible right after sunset on 12 January, 2007. There are wide shots and a some that are zoomed in. A couple segments are run at 30 times normal speed. Due to the tail length, a bit of wide angle seemed to produce a better visual image. 7x35 and 10x50 binoculars also produced a great view. A telescope would have been great if not for the sunset occurring at the same time.

On 28 August 2007, the moon moved through the Earth's shadow or umbra. This video of the lunar eclipse is a series of clips that has the moon move from top left to bottom right in the frame. The original time of the penumbra to total eclipse was about an hour. The moon turned a deep blood red and was barely visible at the height of the total eclipse. This was the best eclipse I have experienced- and perfect skies the whole night. In this edited version, I selected 15 times the normal speed
