Charleston, SC
My wife and I took our Spring vacation this year to the east coast. East Coast Lighthouses being the primary focus, with the furthest south being Tybee Island Lighthouse outside of Savannah, GA. We stayed in Charleston, SC for the first part of the stay, and being we were there, we decided to visit Ft. Sumter and the USS Yorktown museum, We spent the better part of the day at these 2 sites in Patriots Point on the Mt. Pleasant side of the river.

The Orion Nebula
I have started getting into Astro-photography more of late, especially after deciding to purchase an equatorial mount for my camera. It is not the beefiest mount there is, but supports my camera and 200mm lens pretty easily. The mount allows me to take longer exposure images of the night sky, because it moves the camera at the same speed the earth spins. I have only taken it out for 3 shoots due to the cold nights. Luckily I live close enough to some decently dark sky areas.

Super moon over Split Rock
The super moon was set to rise over split rock this weekend, so my wife and I decided to trek over and photograph it. It was the first road trip of this length for the new puppy, but she handled it well and enjoyed wondering around the shore line as we waited for the moon rise.

I spent the week working from home, trying to help acclimate her to her new environment.
